Organised by Cronfa Cegin y Bobl FundCegin y Bobl aims to transform Wales’ relationship with food from the ground up. We teach people of all kinds to cook from scratch, show how food connects us to our community and environment, and we train the new food leaders of tomorrow.
Rydyn ni’n bodoli i drawsnewid perthynas Cymru â bwyd. Mae’r ffordd rydyn ni’n bwyta yn creu difrod i’n iechyd, yn methu’r to ifanc, ein cynhyrchwyr lleol a’n amgylchedd naturiol. Gallwn ni newid hynny trwy ailgysylltu â bwyd go iawn, ffres a lleol – a’i goginio er mwyn Cymru!
Food in Wales isn’t working for us – it’s failing our health, our farmers, our wildlife and our rural economy.
One in four children and more than half of adults in Wales are overweight or obese. Our NHS spends £86 million on illnesses associated with being obese or overweight every year.
We believe that real food can tackle these problems. When people of all ages and from all walks of life can cook fresh food from scratch, their health and confidence improve.
We've worked across Carmarthenshire to deliver food literacy and food leadership training with everyone from urban primary school kids to rural older women’s groups, and we’ve seen lives transformed.
Parents tell us their kids are eating food they’d always refused, pupils given responsibility say they’re now cooking for family at home, teachers describe how pupils’ behaviour has improved.
We are now looking to continue and expand this work We're aiming to raise £250,000 from the public to grow this impactful work into 2025 and beyond.
I now cook Sunday dinner at home. It's actually very fun. I might not have done that without this course. I think it has actually changed my life

JANUARY UPDATE: We're thrilled to have secured just under £60,000 to take our work forward with three schools next year.
This is a great start. Can you help us build on this, so that we can reach many more schools, community groups and teachers?
