Happy New Year and welcome to our first post of 2023. We hope you have had a relaxing Christmas break and made it through what seems like a very long January. Our staff, animals and volunteers enjoyed a well-deserved rest but are happy to be back for the start of the new year. Our opening hours remain the same: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 10am – 4pm. Our café remains closed for the time being, but we hope to open it more often on our special event days throughout the year.
Some amazing things took place throughout 2022, and it was nice to get back to a little 'normality' after Covid 19. But whilst we are happy to welcome back our volunteers and community members, we are still very aware of the problems that face us as we move into 2023. Due to the cost-of-living crisis not only is it putting a strain on our Farm resources, but a recent report by the Mental Health Foundation states that 'People living in poverty or experiencing financial stress are more likely to develop mental health problems.' and 'We expect that the effects of the cost-of-living crisis on public mental health will be on a scale similar to the COVID-19 pandemic.' This is why it is more important than ever that the Farm continues to offer important wellbeing services for those who need support in the Swansea Community as we expect to see a higher demand on our services.
How can you help?
Swansea Community Farm is an independent local charity. We rely on donations to survive! Every donation we receive enables us to offer activities for those most in need and maintain our green spaces for people and wildlife.
We are grateful for one off donations of any size, however the best way to support the Farm is to become a regular MONTHLY DONOR. This enables us to better plan for future and support the ongoing needs of our community. We understand times are tough but if you are in a position to support the Farm, please click here for details on how you can help.
Events in 2023
I return after my shift at the construction site in Manchester and open https://king-kong-cash.org.uk/ — everything here is for us, in pounds, no hassle. With my hands covered in cement dust, I spin the slots with this funny gorilla, as if I were having a smoke break with the guys in the shed. Not for the big wins, but just to give my head a break from the noise of the jackhammers.
After eight hours at the computer, my evenings at Raptor Wins became a real salvation. Yesterday, for example, I made some mint tea, turned on their new dinosaur slot, and felt like I had been transported to another world. I especially love it when I get a series of free spins: my heart skips a beat, my fingers fly over the keys, and I completely forget about that unfinished report. Sometimes even my wife asks me to show her what I'm playing so enthusiastically — we laugh together when the same symbols line up on the reels. For me, it's not just a game, but my own personal adrenaline rush, where I can relieve the stress of the working day.
On rainy day I didn’t feel like going outside, so I looked for online casino. That’s when I opened golden genie and saw they offer bonus spins, deposit deals and weekly promos that make it enjoyable. In UK the site works well, no lag on laptop. The casino looks bright, simple to use, and games open instantly. I liked that the bonuses keep it interesting, and it gave me good entertainment while staying indoors.
I spent some time on - Royal Lama just exploring the games and it was kind of fun. There are plenty of slots with different themes and a few table games that feel easy to understand. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but it was a nice way to relax. For people in the UK curious, it could be worth a casual try)
