Grow Rhondda is a community initiative dedicated to promoting sustainable gardening and local food production in the Rhondda area.
Its purpose is to empower residents by providing resources, support, and opportunities for community gardening.
The initiative aims to enhance food security, foster community connections, and encourage environmental sustainability through workshops, events, and collaborative projects that inspire people to grow their own food and engage with their local environment.
Grow Rhondda CIC has a strong track record of working alongside communities across Rhondda Cynon Taf to respond to the growing food crisis. We have supported the development of new food pantries, provided practical advice, and delivered training to help groups plan for long-term sustainability.
Despite this work, our communities tell us the need is greater than ever. Food poverty continues to rise, driven by increasing energy costs, higher housing rates and local taxation, alongside reduced heating allowances and tightening state benefits. Local people are being stretched from every direction, and the pressure is clearly felt across households in RCT.
