Blog Post 1

Hello everybody, welcome to our monthly blogs that will be highlighting any upcoming events you might be interested in attending at the hub, personal stories from within the community, and the diverse range of services currently on offer.

I can’t believe we’re in Spring already! It’ll be Christmas before we know it. However, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves...

Our aim is to spread more awareness of what the Community Hub offers and bring people together from diverse backgrounds to help build your confidence, skills and a sense of empowerment within the heart of the Gurnos, Merthyr Tydfil.

I am personally very excited to be writing these blogs for the hub, as it is not only a fabulous place to learn and grow but a positive space to share personal stories and connect with others through the power of storytelling.

It’ s fair to say, after meeting some of the staff, that they are the reason the hub thrives. They are dedicated to wanting to make a difference in people’ s lives and bring friendly vibes all around.
