Serving up hope: Community Dinners
return to Machynlleth

Successful local initiative restarts with funding from Hubbub, aiming to support
residents through challenging times Eginiad and Y Pantri’s Community Dinners Project returns this autumn, thanks to new funding secured from Hubbub. Building on its previous success, the project will continue its mission of bringing people together over free, freshly-cooked meals while addressing critical community needs.

Starting on Thursday October 10th and running every week (apart from half-
term), the Community Dinners will be held at the Taj Mahal Community Hub in
Machynlleth. The project aims to create a welcoming space over what is likely to
be a challenging winter, offering support with the cost-of-living crisis while
fostering diverse social connections across different community groups.
"Our Community Dinners have become more than just meals," says project
coordinator and therapist Lucy Morus-Baird. "They're a lifeline for many, offering warmth, companionship, and a sense of belonging. We're thrilled to bring this back to Machynlleth."

However, the project's impact extends far beyond the dining table. By targeting
a wide range of local people, including pensioners, vulnerable individuals,
families, and those living in rural isolation, the Community Dinners promote
inclusivity and strengthen community resilience. They enhance wellbeing and
reduce demand on other local services while offering volunteer opportunities and
training to help community members develop new skills.

In its previous run, the project served 469 meals, with over 50 people being
served on busy days. Feedback from participants highlighted the Community
Dinners as a crucial social outlet and support system.

One regular attendee said, "It's the heartbeat of our area. A chance to care for
each other and strengthen the bonds that make our community special". For
another participant, "The simplicity makes it beautiful - free food, friendly faces,
and true connection. The highlight of my week."

Eginiad and Y Pantri’s Community Dinners Project invites all members of all our
different communities to join us at the Taj Mahal Hub. For more information on
attending or volunteering, please contact eginiad.cmc@gmail.com.
