Cups of joy: Scavenger Hunt

To mark Brew Monday, we have launched a scavenger hunt across our communities in Rhondda Cynon Taf and Cardiff Bay.

There are 108 cups of joy to find, all brightly coloured with a mood booster written on them and they could be hidden around your community.

If you find one of our cups of joy, take a photo of you with your cup and the location where you found it. You can share it with us on Facebook or Instagram, or email comms@trivallis.co.uk and we will share it.

Here are the 50 different small moments of joy activities that you might find written on a cup that’s hidden somewhere near you:
