Cynon Taf Community Housing Group

We are delighted to see Clos Graig Wen welcoming its new residents and providing affordable homes in the Penygraig community. This development continues our commitment to growing our supply of homes for those that need it most. Clos Graig Wen sits on the site of the former Penygraig Infant School and the 12 new homes, provide two adapted properties, as well as 10 flats. We welcomed councillors Lisa Ellis and Gareth Hughes to the scheme to show them around the new homes and share our plans for the future. Auriol Miller FAcSS said, 'It’s fantastic to see Clos Graig Wen come to completion and offer energy efficient, affordable homes that not only provide our tenants with somewhere safe and warm to live, but also aim to reduce the impact of fuel poverty in our local communities.' The development would not have been possible without funding support from Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council or our construction partners ASD Build Ltd.

Growing our supply of homes is a key corporate priority and our Porth site, through our ongoing partnership with ASD Build Ltd is progressing well. When finished, in summer 2025, we will be able to offer nine one-bedroom flats, and six two-bedroom houses, in an area where these affordable, energy efficient homes are much-needed.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay the focuses on mental health at work. The World Health Organization states that stigma and discrimination often prevent people with mental health conditions from seeking help or finding and keeping jobs.

At #TeamCynonTaf we have wellbeing buddies in place to support our colleagues, as well as our employee assistance programme to ensure that they have access to the help they need.
