Thanks to the generosity of our existing regular supporters and with the additional help of a Welsh Government grant from their 'Community Facilities Programme', and following some essential repairs on the valley gutters to eliminate water ingress, we shall begin work on completely upgrading our toilet facilities on 31 March 2025.  This will be a huge benefit to all those who use our venue, but will obviously disrupt things for a few weeks. (See note below). Following the renovation, there will some changes to our food provision service as we shall be able to welcome people back into the building again.  PLEASE NOTE:  AS OF MONDAY 31 MARCH WE SHALL BE UNDERTAKING ESSENTIAL REPAIRS AND UPGRADES TO THE PREMISES INCLUDING IMPROVED TOILET FACILITIES. This will take between 4 - 5 weeks. During this time: The Wallich Rough Sleepers Intervention Team will continue to provide their essential support  first thing in the morning operating from their van outside of Zac's Place....

  Liz writes: Introducing Stu. Some of you will know him; some may not. Stu is employed part-time by Exousia Trust as Buildings Manager at Zac’s Place, but he is so much more than that. He's one of the bible study leaders, and he organises the food distribution on Thursdays and Fridays. He shops, he cooks, he cleans, and he has an enormous heart for our community. In his spare time he's studying for a chaplaincy qualification. If you would like someone to speak about Zac's to your church or community group, either Stu or I would be happy to come along, and tell you all about what goes on here. Well, nearly all . . .

 

  Sean was p leased to have the opportunity to present today’s Celebration programme on BBC Radio Wales - it’s repeated again this evening at 7.30pm or available here and on BBC Sounds for the next few weeks .
