We were delighted to welcome ITV Wales reporter Mike Griffiths to the Institute today, ahead of our Cadw Open Doors event this Sunday, as part of our 120th anniversary celebrations.

It was fantastic to talk about the history of our incredible building, its special relationship with the community over more than a century, and how the building itself has been shaped and transformed by the people who have used and loved it over the decades.

Our history is very much a shared story, and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate that today.

📺 Keep a lookout on ITV Wales News tomorrow morning to hear more about our building, our community and our 120th anniversary celebrations!

🌿 Celebrating our first Taste of Wellbeing cohort! 🌿

We’ve reached the final session of our very first ‘Taste of Wellbeing’ cohort, delivered as part of the Blaenau Gwent Council Trailblazer Project.

Throughout the programme, participants have explored and developed a range of skills, tools and strategies to support improved wellbeing, creating opportunities to learn, reflect, connect and build positive habits for everyday life.

As part of the first half of our final day, the group got creative with macramé bracelet making with Kelly Preece. 🧵✨ It was a lovely opportunity to learn a new skill, get creative and enjoy some relaxed time together.

We then welcomed Rachel and Gemma from Pathways, alongside Tim from Ebbw Vale Institute, who talked to the group about the wider Trailblazer activities and opportunities available. This gave participants the chance to find out what they could get involved with next and continue their wellbeing journey.

A huge thank you and well done to everyone who took part in our first cohort. It’s been fantastic to see the group grow in confidence, share experiences and support one another along the way.

Here’s to continuing the journey and making wellbeing a priority!

🌧️ Happy Hour Cancellation – Tonight 🌧️

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel Happy Hour tonight.

We also have a wedding here tomorrow, so unfortunately we won’t be able to move things inside either. We’re so sorry for any disappointment and really appreciate your understanding.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us throughout the summer! ❤️ It’s been an amazing season, and we’ve loved seeing so many familiar faces and welcoming new ones too.

We’ll see you all again next year — bigger, better and ready for another great summer! 🎉
