A year of producing delicious low cost meals; 5,200 kilos of food saved from landfill; 20 tonnes of carbon saving and a £10,000 grant were some of the things celebrated by Fishguard's Transition Cafe at its first birthday party last Friday.

Run by a team of four employees and more than 30 volunteers, and open from Tuesday to Friday, the cafe serves up healthy affordable meals made of surplus food collected from local shops.

The first birthday celebrations consisted of children's yoga, pizza decorating and fruit kebab making in the afternoon followed by a barbeque and live music in the evening.

"The day has gone really well," said Transition Bro Gwaun's project development officer Tracy Whistance.

"I've particularly enjoyed watching the kids enjoy their party. Watching them get involved with food and making things themselves."

As well as marking a successful first year, the cafe was also celebrating winning £10,000 of funding from the Hay Festival's Future Green Dragon's competition.

"We'll use half of this to maintain a chef/manager position," said Transition Bro Gwaun founder member Tom Latter.

"We currently have two staff on a Jobs Growth Wales scheme and want to keep one of them on for another six months."

The group will also use the funding to develop a guide for other communities interested in running a similar project and to develop an outlet structure for large quantities of food.
