Brief description

https://www.caerphillyminerscentre.co.uk/

2024: "Caerphilly Miner’s Centre’s vision is to restore our former hospital as a resource to support the well-being of the community, celebrate our social heritage, and minimise our impact on climate change.  Our project arose because local people decided in 2008 to take action to stop the former Miners’ Hospital being demolished for housing.  We have continued to consult and engage with our volunteers and community and shape our project to reflect their needs.

A £1.3 m refurbishment of the upper floors of our iconic building, including a Wellness Hub (counselling, chiropody, osteopathy, reflexology, acupuncture, hairdressing, reiki, beauty therapy), a community hall/ function room, training/commercial kitchen, music and craft rooms, was virtually complete in April 2022.  This, together with ground floor community rooms and a climate change garden, currently constitute our project.   

​Our ethos is as a self-standing organisation, based on community consultation, a volunteer-led approach, collaborative endeavour and a focus on respecting people. We support learning, language equality, and inclusivity; create opportunities for personal development; foster community resilience and well-being; and enable people to gain the confidence and skills needed to fulfil their potential.  We value social inclusion, good governance, equality of opportunity, diversity and collective responsibility for addressing our needs. 

Our challenge is to maintain a safe, welcoming and accessible building, for use by our community, whilst investing in our volunteers and wider community, addressing the needs of isolated older people and young parents, taking action on climate change, celebrating our social heritage, and achieving well-being."
