Dinky Doo
Named after a much loved lady who lived in Goytre village,this project, set up and maintained with the help of Capel Ed members, aims to make available surplus food from shops and supermarkets to the community. The volunteers collect, check and safely store/freeze the food in a room in the chapel before taking it to the local village hall to be made available to all.
Eastern Valley Foodbank
The Eastern Valley Foodbank was set up at the Hope centre in Pontypool 10 years ago by a member of Capel Ed. Supported by the Trussell Trust, it is part of a network of foodbanks across the UK. Several members of Capel Ed regularly volunteer here.
