Background to Trust

The Trust was launched in October 2000 following consultation with local people with the intention of making Clydach a place that residents would be proud of both visually and environmentally.

It would also work to increase the GDP of the area by providing training and facilities to help generate employment opportunities as well as encouraging the participation of the whole community.

The Trust has a focus on the Graigfelen area but covers the whole of Clydach.

It has its main office in the Forge Fach Community Resource centre.

The Trust appointed its first member of staff in May 2001 and now employs 11 staff, both full and part time staff in both the Trust and Forge Fach activities.
