Llangors Play and Recreation Park Project has been awarded a grant of £45,543 from the National Lottery Community Fund. The management committee of Llangors Youth and Community Centre are helping their community to adapt, recover and thrive, thanks to National Lottery players by providing a children’s play and recreation park in Llangors. It will be sited alongside the Community Centre and have safe, easy access to the Community run Shop. The play and recreation park will provide a safe place for children to play and have fun outdoors, families to have a coffee or picnic and also provide a space for older people to meet and chat and enjoy beautiful views of the Brecon Beacons.

Chair of the Project group, Melrose East said –

‘ this new facility is much needed in Llangors. Children’s play is vitally important for their development, socialisation, health and wellbeing. The children of Llangors have been without a safe place to meet outdoors to play and have fun for many years. There will be space too for people of all ages to meet and chat. After the recent pandemic the park will encourage people to venture out again and have fun’

Everyone welcome

The coronavirus pandemic, with subsequent closure of many local facilities for long periods of time, has highlighted the importance of maintaining our local amenities, no more so than our very active village Community Centre.

Due to recent retirements, there are some vacancies on the committee. If you would like to be involved in helping run the Community Centre, please come along to the meeting or contact Melrose East, Chair, for further information – melrosemeast@gmail.com

Llangors Community Garden is the product of a partnership between Llangors School, Llangors Church and the Village Hall Committee. The school and the church are both eco focused bodies and they are working together to create a wildlife garden on some unused land at the relocated community play park site near the village hall.

Watch this video to see how well the project is progressing.

On Thursday March 10th a coffee morning was held in the Community Centre to raise funds to support refugees fleeing from Ukraine. It was very well attended by people from all around the Lake and beyond. Many people had donated cakes and raffle prizes. 

Anne Evans and Chris DeManuel were extremely busy serving teas and coffees all morning.

As well as the coffee morning, donations were received from Llangors Church, Pennorth Chapel, Castle Pub Llangors and Sheena’s Pilates class.

In total £2130 was raised. This is a phenomenal amount and will be matched funded by the National Westminster Bank, thereby doubling the amount raised for the DEC Ukraine Appeal.

Thanks to everyone who supported this event.
