Supporting Wales

In Wales, Stop Hunger is helping to break cycles of
disadvantage through a strategic partnership with Mon
Community Forward, a community-based charity on the
Isle of Anglesey.
With high levels of deprivation, low social mobility, and
poor post-16 progression, Anglesey faces deep-rooted
challenges. Many young people are at risk of becoming NEET
(not in education, employment or training), often due to limited
quali昀椀cations and opportunities.
To address this, Stop Hunger awarded a £30,000 grant to launch the Achieve
More Together project—a preventative programme targeting 40 young people
aged 14+ identi昀椀ed by local schools as ‘pre-NEET’. Delivered in partnership
with Ysgol Uwchradd Caergybi and Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern, the initiative
o昀昀ers vocational training, mentoring, and work placements in sectors like
hospitality, construction, and retail.
But our support didn’t stop at funding. Sodexo colleagues at the Inland Border
Facility (IBF) sites contributed volunteer hours, delivering breakfasts, mentoring
sessions, and guest speaking opportunities. These interactions gave students
real-world insights and role models from their own communities. The proximity
of Sodexo’s site to the schools made the engagement especially meaningful—
students saw a tangible path forward, and volunteers shared personal stories
that resonated deeply.
Volunteers didn’t just show up; they came prepared to share their
own journeys into employment and into Sodexo’s site, which is just
a few miles from the school. That proximity and relevance made
a huge di昀昀erence. It motivated our students to engage, to ask
questions, and to see a future for themselves. The impact was real
— and deeply felt.”
