This St David’s Day, we’re inviting communities across Swansea Bay to come together for The Big Cwtch Lunch. A celebration of food, friendship, and that very Welsh feeling of a cwtch.

The Big Cwtch Lunch is a brand-new Faith in Families campaign for 2026. It’s all about people hosting their own lunch, at home, at work, in schools or in their community and raising money to support children and families facing poverty, crisis, and trauma.

A Big Cwtch Lunch can be anything you want it to be.
A bowl of cawl with friends, a bring-and-share at work, a school lunch, a coffee and cake morning, or a St David’s Day get-together. Simple, welcoming, and all about coming together.

Why it matters

At Faith in Families, we support over 1,000 children and families every week through our Community Cwtches, family support services, and Cwtch Mawr Multibank. With the cost of living continuing to rise, more families than ever are struggling to meet their basic needs.

Money raised through The Big Cwtch Lunch helps us:

• Support children and families living in poverty

• Provide food, essentials, and practical help through our Multibank

• Offer safe, welcoming community spaces where families can feel supported

Every lunch shared helps create stability, dignity, and hope for local families.

• Donate to support The Big Cwtch Lunch

• Host your own Big Cwtch Lunch and ask guests to donate

• Share this page and help spread the word

Whether you’re donating a few pounds or hosting a table full of friends, every contribution makes a difference.

The Big Cwtch Lunch is about kindness, community, and looking out for one another — the Welsh way. Thank you for being part of it.
