Wales’s first multi-bank, Cwtch Mawr, is looking for surplus stock of children’s clothing and shoes, kettles, toasters, and microwaves, vacuum cleaners, and crockery items

Wales’s first multi-bank is led by Faith In Families and supported by Amazon, the former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the Welsh Government, and Swansea Council.

The Charity: 

Meaning ‘Big Hug’ in English, Cwtch Mawr is a program led by the Welsh charity Faith In Families.

Cwtch Mawr is a multi-bank - with furniture, clothing, sanitary, and household goods - and the first of its kind in Wales. The project connects companies who have surplus stock with local charities who know the people in need of such items.

The Project:

Having already supported more than 7,000 families in Swansea with donations of more than 40,000 goods, Cwtch Mawr is in need of various items that it can redistribute in housing and other packs in response to requests from its charity partners.

The Ask:

• Children’s clothes, children’s shoes

• Kettles, toasters, and microwaves

• Hoovers

• Cutlery, plates, bowls, and mugs
