The Caerphilly Miners Community Centre Management Committee, which aims to convert the Caerphilly District Miners Hospital into a community centre after it is decommissioned as a hospital later this year, recently applied to become a Company by Guarantee.
Following the approval of their application they will then be able to apply to become a charity, which will be a tremendous step on their path to saving this important historical building.
Recently the Committee commissioned a feasibility study, the results of which were very positive, signed an agreement with United Welsh Housing Association to work in partnership and have made good progress in being included in the recently published Local Development Plan.
The Chair of the Committee and AM for Caerphilly Jeff Cuthbert said:
‘I am really pleased with the progress that this committee has made since it was formed in early 2008. We have all put a lot of work into this project and now it is really starting to come to fruition.
‘I very much look forward to chairing future meetings of our Company by Guarantee and I would encourage any member of the public with extra time or an interest in the building to contact us and become a member of our Charity.’
The committee will also be holding a coffee morning for members of the public on Saturday 29 January from 10:00 – 12:30 at the Twyn Community Centre in Caerphilly. For further information please contact Secretary Katherine Hughes on 029 2088 6569 or on [email protected]
