Founded in 2022, Cegin Hedyn (meaning "Seed Kitchen" in Welsh) is a community-driven project based in Carmarthen, Wales, aimed at addressing food insecurity. Our mission is to offer nutritious, pay-what-you-can meals, making healthy food accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.

Cegin Hedyn uses locally sourced, seasonal, and organic ingredients, supporting both sustainability and local farmers. Our kitchen has served over 10,000 meals since opening, and we continue to grow, thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers and generous support from donors like you.

Beyond providing meals, Cegin Hedyn is committed to fostering community spirit. Our community allotment project, launched in April 2024, brings people together to grow food, learn gardening skills, and share the harvest. This project allows us to cultivate fresh produce for the kitchen and offers hands-on experiences that promote sustainability and self-reliance.

Thanks to funding from our community, The National Lottery, Carmarthenshire County Council and the support of our volunteers, we’ve become a beacon of hope for those facing food insecurity. Every donation helps us strengthen our impact, bringing people together around food and community.
