Create a Community Hub
Episode 23
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast we head to Wales, to explore two fantastic examples of community hubs. Hwb y Gors is a newly opened arts and sustainability education centre in Cwmgors, Neath Port Talbot, which has been developed in an old Victiorian school building and is supporting the local community through a huge range of creative activities and wellbeing initiatives; and Tŷ Pawb is an impressive gallery, retail and event space in Wrexham, opened in 2018 and created in what was formerly a multi-storey carpark. Whilst on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of scale, both these initiatives are bringing huge positive impacts to their local area, economically, socially and environmentally. Listen now to hear: How Hwb y Gors is helping restore community connectedness, and improving engagement with environmental issues through the arts. How start-up businesses are going from pop-up stalls to high street retailers through Tŷ Pawb’s support programme. How sustainability and community resilience are being improved by the repurposing of disused buildings.
