Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust – with support from Cardiff City – will hold a second foodbank collection to help those struggling to put food on the table.

A food donation point will be set up from 12.30pm, close to the Trust office (near Gate 5) before Cardiff City’s clash against Luton Town (3pm) on Easter Monday, April 18^th, 2022.

Food collected will be delivered to the Cardiff Foodbank Centre which supports foodbanks across the city and the Trust hopes to carry out more collections for foodbanks in south-east Wales next season.

Trust vice-chairman David Craig and Trust board member Richard Lewis have visited the city foodbank centre to, learn about the work they do to help those in poverty, talk about the planned collection and discuss what food items are most needed.

David Craig said: “When we held our first collection for the Rhondda Foodbank in December it was already clear that many families were struggling to make ends meet.

“The situation is much worse now for many with the huge increase in fuel prices from the start of this month, rocketing food prices in supermarkets and benefit and wage rises well below inflation.”

Richard Lewis added: “It is difficult for everyone in the current climate of rising prices but those on low incomes are being forced into poverty, so the work carried out by foodbanks is even more crucial in ensuring families and individuals can eat.

“Cardiff City fans, the club, its staff and players were incredibly generous when we held our last collection and we’re sure that there will be many willing to give a helping hand to those struggling at the Luton game.”

Foodbank administer Sara Redwood said: “We’re excited to partner with the Trust. In the last financial year we provided 14,521 3-day food parcels to people in Cardiff and of this number 5,464 went to children.”

Here is a list of food items most urgently needed by the foodbank: Sponge Puddings, Longlife Fruit Juice, Tinned Fruit, Instant Coffee, Custard UHT/Longlife Milk, Microwavable Rice & Pasta, Rice Pudding, Deoderant, and Chocolate Bars.

• Cardiff Foodbank operates from eight locations across the city with 160 active volunteers.

On March 20^th UN Anti Racism Day last year Cardiff City and Swansea City Football Clubs joined together on derby day to make a joint statement against racism.  The “Rivals on the Pitch; United Against Racism” was a powerful statement to our fans.

This year on Sunday, March 20^th, there is a March Against Racism event in Cardiff that is calling on all anti-racists throughout Wales & beyond to join in the fight for equality and justice for all who face racism and discrimination.

So we are calling on fans of Cardiff City, Swansea City and any other clubs who are interested to join us under the banner “Rivals On The Pitch; United Against Racism”.

Meet at the steps of the National Museum of Wales,  next to City Hall, at 11.45am: wear your colours and join us to show that fighting against racism and discrimination really is more important than the rivalry on the pitch.

​Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust is firmly behind campaigns against racism.​

Keith Morgan, chair of Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust, said: “No-one could fail to be moved by the enormous suffering faced by the people of Ukraine. Their spirit, tenacity and love for their country is hugely impressive. We urge all fans – if they are able – to donate through the DEC appeal and at the bucket collections held before the next two City home games.”

Trust members answered a call for assistance today to help sort a huge number of items donated by kind-hearted people across South Wales in aid of those living in war-stricken Ukraine.

We joined Cardiff City academy players, Academy Head David Hughes, Wayne Nash, Head of Operations and other volunteers at the Cardiff City Stadium in organising and boxing everything from tins of food to nappies.

Trust members were on nappy duty sorting out and packing a huge amount of packs of donated nappies for eventual transport to Ukraine.
