Tylorstown Welfare Hall

South Wales

Thread leads the vision, as design consultant, for Tylorstown Welfare Hall (Grade II listed, originally built in 1933) which sits in the heart of the Rhondda Valleys and is one of the last remaining miners’ institutes. The project has just secured £286,388 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This year the hall turns 90 years old and today it still offers much needed community services as it has done for nearly a century. The hall provides many vital services to the local and surrounding communities and is a lifeline to many.

TWH was built by the community - in their words in “Constant communication with the community and (by) continuously listening to ways in which we can try to help those who may be struggling”.

Thread honours this promise by continuing to ensure the project is developed in partnership with the community and with their support. This is key to the continued support of TWH and affection for the building into the future.
