Help Save Beaufort Hill Miners Welfare Hall, a Community Hub

Hi my name is Rob and I am the treasurer and one of five directors of Beaufort Hill Miners Welfare Hall, in Ebbw Vale, South Wales. Our Hall is at the heart of our small community, but we are desperately running short of funds. We run as a not-for-profit organisation and we receive no funding from the local authority, after taking over the lease some years ago. We were covering our costs with income, prior to Covid, but with our fuel bills having more than quadrupled, we are now struggling to cover our expenditure. Our beautiful hall is about to celebrate being a community hub for 90 years, but our days are numbered, as it stands. The hall is used by all ages across our local area, including coffee mornings, Mother & Toddler groups, a Dementia Cafe group, Gentle Exercise for older members of our community, yoga, kick-boxing and Baby Sensory play, to name but a few.

We hold regular events, such as Chinese Auctions, Music Nights, Bingo and Race Nights- anything we can think of to bring in income to keep our Hall open.

Starting this Go Fund Me is a bid to gain the much needed funds to keep our hall open, to provide a venue for all members of our community to utilise, as it has within our community for 90 years. Please help us save our Hall for future generations. Thank you
