RCT Together is working with businesses and corporations who value communities across Rhondda Cynon Taf and the meaningful contribution community groups and organisations make locally.
Projects sponsored by EEM:
Funding was used to establish a subsidised breakfast club providing a welcome to all - young and old, to enjoy a morning meal together while fostering social connections. The project was designed to combat social isolation and loneliness alongside the creation of intergenerational connections. Hot breakfasts with toast, tea and coffee were made available for a small charge with the opportunity to "pay it forward" if desired.
Funding supported the further development and growth of the Health and Wellbeing Club. The project addressed isolation and loneliness offered a warm, friendly non-judgemental place for people to attend and make friends whilst taking part in a range of activities including crafts, exercise, cookery, gardening and singing. It was free to attend and accessible for all with sessions running twice weekly.
Funding enabled an array of seasonal and festive craft workshops that engaged the local community, fostering creativity and social connections. The workshops celebrated cultural traditions tied to the seasons and provided opportunities for local people of all ages to attend together to learn new skills. Through hands-on activities participants had the opportunity to strengthen community bonds whilst exploring their artistic potential.
