The Sharing Table
What it does
The charity exists to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and their families in the Gower region of Wales. Food is at the heart of the charity- we believe that no child on Gower should go hungry. We are also interested in addressing other areas of inequality faced by disadvantaged children, such as access to sporting and educational opportunities.
