The Pontardawe Arena

Glantawe Riverside Park
2023-2024
Our volunteers have continued to maintain the park, allowing access and increasing spaces for biodiversity and caring for the plants on our site.
This year our volunteers have also created more light, sheltered spaces for our guests and school children to learn outside.
Working with My Green Valley litter-pickers, we renovated the round
house so it is now a light and airy space for plant sales and courses.
Coed Lleol and Fathom have regularly used our outdoor spaces and the roundhouse
for crafting courses which support well-being.
Our volunteers also maintain outdoor gathering spaces for the public and groups, such as
Yoga Place Abertawe, so they can run regular ‘Wild Yoga’ sessions in our woods.
In the spring, our volunteers have upgraded our polytunnel with a small grant
from 4the region, so we now have more space for seedlings, cuttings and
propagation for our no dig garden, food forest and wildflower areas.
Our volunteers have continued to grow healthy nutritious food without chemicals.
Working with My Green Valley litter-pickers, we We have continued to work with 4theregion, hosting one of their regional meetings,
running a stall at Neath Food Fair and being interviewed as a Community Garden.
To protect our native flora and fauna, we have been tackling knotweed - there is a lot of it on site - with the help of some unusual volunteers!
One of our most important projects of 2024 has been the development of three rain
gardens with a view to both controlling the flooding in our main path area and
increasing biodiversity. They seem to have been quite successful… so far.
Our volunteers created a new pond area: more wetland habitat. This fits nicely with our
ecological profile as a ‘watermeadow’ between the canal and Afon Tawe. We have now
planted the pond and surrounds with pond plants, marginals and bog plants.
We have continued to celebrate and educate about the wildlife on site
and have had a whole site ecological survey done. house so it is now a light and airy space for plant sales and courses.
We have run year-long courses for secondary school children, for the fifth year in a row,
providing Level 2 Agored Cymru qualifications in outdoor learning for 15 children in danger of becoming NEET each year.
In June, we worked with My Green Valley to host the second Swansea Valley Green
Gathering, attended by hundreds of local people. Over 50 different local charities,
businesses and organisations with the environment at their heart discussed future
plans, gave talks, provided activities and ran stalls.
Working with My Green Valley litter-pickers, we We have hosted birthday parties, gatherings, celebrations and memorials. round
Alongside our outdoor work, our volunteers have this year been gradually renovating
our community building. We have, with the help of NPT’s Facilities Fund, replaced old
fire doors so the building is now both more secure and better insulated. We have had
help from Tai Tarian to redecorate the outside of the building and are now hoping to
install a community kitchen in some old office space so that we can offer plot to plate courses in 2025.
We are immensely grateful to:
● 4theregion for their support in developing our community growing project
● NPTforNature for their advice and support with the rain gardens and knotweed management
-
NPT Facilities Fund for the new doors
-
The Mayor’s Fund for supporting the Green Gathering
-
The Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm for helping us renovate an outdoor classroom
● The National Lottery Awards4All for funding our two volunteer practitioners for 1house so it is now a light and airy space for plant sales and courses.
Finally, our hard work has been recognised: we were the Pontardawe Mayor’s
Charity of the Year 2023-4, and won an award from Neath Port talbot Council for the environmental work done by our volunteers. We have also been awarded a Community Green Flag for the 11th Year running.Working with My Green Valley litter-pickers, we
