The Comm-unity Cuppa was a joint initiative between St Elvan's and local LGBTQ+ organisation Project Unity. Supported by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council Community Safety Partnership, the Comm-unity Cuppa was a monthly opportunity for local people to come together, socialise and discuss issues effecting different sectors of the community, and how we could come together to tackle issues such as isolation, discrimination and more

The events were open to all with everyone welcome to attend. Sessions were held every third Saturday of the month at St Elvan's

The Comm-unity Cuppa Launch took place as part of the month long Festival of Unity, which ran from August 5th to 26th 2023, and ran for a full year from August 2023 to August 2024
