We support local communities to reduce food waste, tackle food poverty and support healthy wellbeing.

Baobab Bach exists to make affordable food, practical support and a warm welcome available to more people across South Wales. What began around the first COVID-19 lockdown grew out of work with community venues and a response to the very real pressures local people were facing, from lost income and rising costs to isolation and uncertainty. Since then, Baobab Bach has developed into a growing network of pantries and wellbeing support, helping people make their money go further while also reducing food waste and keeping good food in local communities.

Today, that work reaches beyond pantry shelves. Alongside affordable food, we create safe, welcoming spaces where people can have a chat, find support and feel part of something local. Our growing projects produce fresh food for pantries and communities, our volunteers bring a huge range of skills and care to every service, and our wider work continues to focus on healthier wellbeing, stronger community connection and more sustainable ways to support South Wales.
