Since February 2022 I have held eleven Cost of Living Network meetings, with the first and last ones being held at St. Dyfrig's Community Church Hall in Treforest. They have been held mainly in Rhondda Cynon Taf, but we did one network meeting in conjunction with Cardiff Foodbank at Chapter Arts Centre.
The Network meetings have been an opportunity for individuals, community groups and third sector organisations to come together to look at the situation as it is and to see what groups are working to help deal with the situation.
People have found that the meetings are a great way to learn about what other groups are doing and to see if there are ways of joining forces on schemes to spread the great work that is being done.
