Saturday 26th January 2013, Twyn Community Centre,
10.00am – 4.00pm.
Weather permitting, this event will go ahead!
You are cordially invited to this event, to be launched by our County Mayor, Cllr
Gaynor Oliver, which will showcase health and well-being activities in
Caerphilly. The programme has been developed by the Caerphilly Miners Well-Being Group.
We are planning a wide range of health and well-being activities, a warm
welcome for you to escape from winter blues. Access to the event is free, but there
will be a small charge for refreshments. Caerphilly Miners will run a raffle and you can sign up for membership
and join new groups.
The programme will include taster sessions in dance, Samba band, chair exercises, music therapy and food preparation.
There will be information stands about the Caerphilly Miners project, health improvement, bone health, and healthy
eating. We are hoping also to provide therapies, information about IT skills and CV writing.
Further information from Katherine Hughes – 029 2088 6569 029 2088 6569 [email protected].

Introduction
In 2006, the Welsh Assembly Government approved funding of over £100 m to build a new Local General Hospital within Caerphilly County Borough which will offer a broader range of facilities for the community. To facilitate this process, existing local hospitals across the Borough, including Caerphilly District Miners Hospital, will close.
Caerphilly District Miners’ Hospital was built early last century using Miners’ money. Many members of the Caerphilly community would like to see some kind of community use retained on the site when the wider site is redeveloped in honour of the investment made by the Miners all those years ago. In 2008 a steering group was set up in response to concerns by community members that the hospital site would only be redeveloped entirely for housing. In 2009, the group was formally established as the Caerphilly Miners Community Centre Management Committee with a goal of retaining some kind of community use along side the proposed residential development.
This website provides details about the Management Committee and background information on the work that we have been undertaking. The website will be updated regularly to keep you up to date on the latest news, fundraising events and meetings. A Blog has also been set up to allow members of the Committee Members to add their own thoughts and updates on the Groups activities.
We welcome comments and suggestions either through the Blog, by email or through the contact form. We have a website page where you can add your own memories and tell us what the hospital means to you. We also have a facebook group which we hope you will join. We would love to hear from you. Please explore this website further and lend your support to the Management Committee by signing up to our email updates.
