Our vision is of a place where local people of all ages can come together, feel part of our community, learn from each other and celebrate our remarkable heritage.
We want to give the Caerphilly Miners back to the community!

Guest speaker - Tudor Jones

This afternoon’s session was a new experience for the Elderberries when Mary Hughes kindly gave us a chance to try needle felting.
Mary came fully prepared with the special wool & needles needed, “eggs” & even suggestions for designs.
At the end Mary awarded us 10/10 because we heeded her warning about the danger of stabbing our fingers and miraculously no-one broke a needle!
It was a lovely, relaxing activity and we could chat while “working”. We look forward to another chance to do something in the late autumn ready for Christmas.
