On Friday our amazing members cooked up a delicious chilli con carne using 5% lean mince. They worked hard preparing all the vegetables, and did a fantastic job. A huge thank you to Sarah and Hayley for organizing the raffle and quiz, and to Gemma, Rees, Connor, and Cheryl for their help in the kitchen.
Next week it’s our Christmas Party! Fancy dress is optional, but we’re ready for a festive time with a buffet, disco, quiz, and bingo. We can’t wait to see you all there!
What a festive music session we had last week! We sang lots of Christmas songs, danced our hearts out, and got into the holiday spirit.

Please remember, only attend if you have purchased a ticket. We can’t wait to celebrate with you – let’s keep spreading the festive cheer!
What a fantastic turnout yesterday for our Christmas craft session – a full house! We got into the festive spirit by making beautiful snow globes. Everyone got creative gluing miniature Santa and Christmas tree figures onto the bases, then adding a magical mixture of water and glycerine. Some went for glittery sparkle, while others chose frosty fake snow, and the results were amazing!
A huge well done to everyone for your fabulous creations, and a big thank you to Cheryl for leading the session. Next week we’ll be painting wooden Christmas figures – can’t wait to see all your festive masterpieces!

Cracking afternoon at Caerphilly People First! We had an absolute blast yesterday making our very own Christmas crackers. With a full house and lots of festive cheer, the group was buzzing with creativity and laughter. To make our crackers extra special, we made beautiful friendship bracelets to pop inside – what a thoughtful touch. We can’t wait to see these crackers decorating everyone’s trees.
A huge thank you to Zoe for facilitating this fantastic session. Same time, same place next week – let’s keep the fun going!
What a delicious Reconnect through Cookery session on Friday! Our amazing members prepared fresh celery, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and even added grated carrots to our rich and flavourful Bolognese sauce. We served it over linguine pasta, topped with grated cheddar, and paired it with crispy garlic bread.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we’re thrilled to say there was no food waste. Huge thanks to all our fantastic volunteers for making the session run smoothly — you’re the best! We’re off next week but can’t wait to see you all on Friday, December 6th, when we’ll be making chilli and rice. Until then, take care and stay warm!

A big thank you to our dedicated volunteers, Gethin and Rees, and our fantastic head gardener, Morgan Jones, for a chilly but productive morning at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens yesterday. Together, we transplanted leeks and Welsh onions in our eco bottle house. The cold fresh air was brisk, but working outside in the almost winter sunshine gave us all a much-needed boost.
A special shout-out to Kyle for once again giving up his time to teach and guide us—your support is truly invaluable. We’re also incredibly grateful to the National Lottery for making it possible for us to employ a valued team member for 2 hours a week; your support helps us continue this important work and makes a big difference.
