CAR PARK EXTENSION

Regular visitors to Forge Fach will have noticed that work is well under way on the long-awaited extension to our car park, due to be completed by the end of March. Obviously this will cause a certain amount of disruption during the next few weeks & there will be occasions when the car park is closed to centre users, but we ask everyone to be patient & understanding during this time - we are sure the end result will be well worth it. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Upcoming Project Ideas

We have applied to the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, the Tudor Trust,the Trusthouse Foundation and Western Valleys for funding to enable us to deliver new projects that will improve job prospects and deal with the difficult issue of intergenerational intolerance in our community.

Both issues are difficult to address, and are important to the people of Clydach, we hope that we can attract the necessary funding to enable us to carry out this important work.

A New Talent Agency...

Dean Verbeck, principal of the The Performance Factory (TPF) has recently opened a new Talent Agency at the centre, offering children the opportunity to gain professional experience in film, TV, etc.... The TPF is a local success story, and one in which Forge Fach has been integral to the development of Dean's business, and we are pleased that Dean has now decided to base his new venture at the centre.

Good luck Dean.
