We previously awarded a Vision Fund for the major renovation of this much loved community hall and when they approached us in last round of Micro Fund we were pleased to offer a final £1,690 for resin paths in their lovely community garden space.
With help from other funders like Lottery, Coalfields and the local authority and loads of support from Keep Wales Tidy they created a new garden and seating area. The resin paths mean now that seating areas are accessible and safe for all to use. We also funded some gardening equipment and a lovely neighbour volunteer will use these to maintain and care for the garden.
We called into their (hastily re-arranged) Christmas fete on Sunday and despite the terrible weather we saw the new paths which looked fantastic and was great to see the hall full to the brim and being supported by their members and community.
As soon as Spring comes we are sure people will be using and loving the new outdoor space as much as they do the hall.
- The hall has been refurbished with significant funding and is used for bingo, meetings, private hire, knit and natter, Tai Chi, choir, parties and fetes and other activities. Tuesday and Thursday Slimming World have the hall. Knit and Natter is on a Monday afternoon. Tai Chi is Wednesday. There is a children’s choir on a Wednesday night and an adult choir on a Friday night.
