About Gather Together Trust
A charity in Cardiff, run by people who know our supporters by name and still care about the small things.
Gather Together Trust is a local charity making sure nobody in Cardiff goes hungry, lonely or without help. Our food bank, community meals, befriending, youth and advice programmes are run by a small team and more than 400 volunteers, and funded almost entirely by people like you.
