Glyncoch Community Centre

There can be no better example of the fund achieving its goals than at Glyncoch, near Pontypridd, a large post-war housing estate which sits above Craig-yr Hesg quarry.

The old community centre was in a dreadful state of repair and a target of vandalism. Without a grant of £403,000 from the fund the bold plans to revamp the building would have failed as a number of other funders dropped out and hopes of securing the necessary £800,000 looked bleak.

The community donation of materials and concrete to Glyncoch RFC took place in May 2015.
