Community Well-being Project Pontyates

Project Applicants: Pontyates Miners' Welfare Association

Anchor Programme: Sustainable Communities

Location: Pontyates

Pontyates Miners Hall needed modernisation, and the funding has been used to improve digital connectivity, making wi-fi accessible to all hall users. A sound system has been installed, and a hearing loop has been purchased to ensure inclusivity.

New tables and a gazebo have been purchased for the local monthly market to cope with increasing popularity. Further upgrades include new digital screens, outdoor equipment, new whist tables and enhancements to outdoor spaces.

Since the improvements, over a dozen events have been held, hundreds of activities, over 50 new volunteers have been recruited, and there has been a large increase in users of the facilities.
