Wagamama in Swansea is giving out free meals this month at its weekly community hubs. The Swansea restaurant will offer free mains for children and hot drinks and sides for adults, as part of its partnership with charity, The Bread and Butter Thing, to help families facing the rising cost-of-living.
As soaring costs continues to hit families across Wales, the community sessions will run weekly from Tuesday, January 17, until Tuesday, February 7, from 3-5pm. The restaurant hubs can be booked in advance and are aimed at those who are looking for a place to unwind, make new friends and enjoy some nourishing food and company.
You can book a maximum of four tickets per person and can find out more about the hubs and how to register here. Wagamama, Swansea, will be the first restaurant in Wales to host the community sessions which began earlier this month in Ashton Moss, Didsbury and Central Manchester. These locations are close to the areas where The Bread and Butter Thing hosts weekly hubs offering nourishing food to those who most need it. You can read more stories about Swansea here.

Wagamama CEO, Thomas Heier, said: “At Wagamama we believe in the Japanese philosophy of seijaku; finding calm and tranquillity in the midst of activity. In these challenging times it is important that we all continue to nourish ourselves and our communities. Typically, every veganuary we like to surprise and delight our guests with a plant-based showstopper, but we know this veganuary is a little bit different for families across the UK, so it is a privilege this year to support local communities through our newly launched partnership with The Bread and Butter Thing.”
