HELP OUT WHEN YOU MOVE OUT 2025
Be a winner, not a binner!
If you live on Malvern Terrace, Gwydr Crescent, Marlborough Road and King Edwards Road
Donate your household items and unopened dry and canned food when you move out of student accommodation.
Help out when you move out is back for its 2nd year! Last year we collected over half a ton of reusable items from just three streets, this year were expanding and want to collect even more!
What’s the Plan?
From the 2nd of June till 30th June (excluding Sundays) if you are a resident of Malvern Terrace, Gwydr Crescent, Marlborough Road or King Edwards Road and you have any items from the leaflet opposite that you don’t need any more, please pop them in the clear bag that will be dropping through your door and leave it on your doorstep. Please don’t leave the bag on the pavement.
The bags will be collected daily by volunteers and will be sorted and redistributed to those in need, local charities and the Brynmill food bank. Find out more about the good causes below.
Where will my donation go?
Brynmill Food Bank - Pat’s Food Bank
Brynmill Food Bank is run by local Brynmill legend Pat who has been a key part of the Brynmill community all her life. This year Pat celebrated 45 years of service at Brynmill Community Centre having been there since it first opened its doors in 1979. Pat took on various roles at the Community Centre including including treasurer, booking officer and organising the Brynmill Playscheme as well as arraging outings for numerous children, such as trips to Barry Butlins, swimming sessions at Pontardawe swimming baths, visits to Penscynor Wildlife park and other exciting excursions. In April Pat stood down from her role at Brynmill Community Centre to focus on running her Food Bank. Each week Pat collects donations of money for groceries and contributions of food which can be accessed by Brynmill Residents in need. The remaining items are taken to St. Thomas Church where it is distributed to local families and individuals in need across Swansea. You can find Pat at Pantygwydr Church on a Tuesday, pop in for a chat and a cuppa.
