Annual Trustee’s Report 2024

Bedwas Workmen’s Hall management Committee is made up of several members of the local community and representatives of Bedwas, Trethomas and Machen Community council, who own the building itself. In line with the constitution the Committee manage the day to day running of the hall, supported by the trustees of Bedwas Workmen’s Hall and Institute charity.

As we closed 2023, our Centenary year Bedwas Workmen's Hall and institute hit 2024 running. 2023 saw several exciting developments for the hall including the start of the first phase of regeneration and refurbishment work. Phase 1 would make the hall completely wind and water tight, banishing once and for all the days of buckets to catch the rain. Alongside this Phase 1 say the installation of the lift, making the first floor auditorium fully, and truly accessible for the first time. The work is due to be completed in early 2025, but key elements such as the lift and accessible toilet were opened in November 2024, in time for our Christmas events in the theatre.

The year saw many successful events including drag bingo, local bands and tribute acts, alongside the usual hire of the theatre for private birthday parties and the like. The 3 months closure of the theatre was more than made up for by a very busy period in the run up to Christmas, including welcoming the renowned BTM Brass Band for their annual Christmas Concert.

Alongside a busy year for upstairs we have continued to grow the community Centre element of the Hall with more groups than ever hiring the rooms downstairs, most rooms now in use every day of the week. The occupants of these include art clubs, dance classes, martial arts groups and a choir.

As we look forward to 2025 we look ahead to a busier year than ever in the Hall. 2025 will also see the reformation of our lottery committee to start the preparation of our bid for the next phase of works which will continue to expand the Hall’s impact in our community.

We will continue as ever, to take our Heritage into tomorrow.
