She explained there weren\u2019t any services like it in Cardiff, so she started the charity herself. Entirely voluntary and funded by food donations (cash is only accepted to pay for the delivery driver), it is now run by Nicola and her two friends Justine Heydon and Amanda Kane who have worked with the homeless for many years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to build up slowly having a group of friends [to help],\u201d Nicola explained, \u201cbut it sort of exploded and created a monster.\u201d The organisation now works all day, every day making food parcels with donations from the general public and, more recently, with food provided by the UK&#8217;s longest running food redistribution charity, <a href=\"https:\/\/fareshare.org.uk\/what-we-do\/\">FareShare<\/a> who provides food from companies such as Tesco, Iceland and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As their growth in demand continues, the charity need more volunteers to help with social media to manage requests and provide food for these parcels. Cwtch-Up delivers more than 60 food parcels a week in Cardiff alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having worked with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/2020\/11\/18\/temporary-housing-units-for-homeless-families-to-be-built-at-former-gasworks\/\">homeless<\/a> for years individually, the charity\u2019s founder and volunteers also take to Cardiff\u2019s streets every Wednesday giving out warm meals and hot drinks to whoever they can find.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce you\u2019ve started, you can\u2019t stop,&#8221; says Nicola, &#8220;People rely on you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Cwtch-Up? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCwtch is obviously my favourite word, I\u2019m Welsh\u201d explains Nicola, who said she wanted to get those in need all in to &#8216;cwtch&#8217; them.
