As well as generating savings for our members, Graig Fatha Co-op has a lifetime commitment to donate around a quarter of its surplus income to supporting community projects and households struggling with their energy bills in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Working with the Welsh Government, who provided a grant of £1.1m during the construction phase, we support the local community by providing funds to address fuel poverty and to support wellbeing.

Since March 2022 we’ve given back more than £360,000 of funding to the Fuel Bank Foundation, helping 9,469 people, including 3,977 children, through vouchers and advice.

We also provide funding to Interlink RCT which supports local community groups, giving financial help to activities from pensioner lunches to scouting equipment, re-flooring a Men’s Shed to Welsh language classes.
