Taff Rocks

Taff Rocks Providing public workshops, classes and seminars for the tuition and creation of art using a variety of media, not just rocks!

Registered in England and Wales as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered charity number: 1192749. Our community workshops are as back to as near "normal" as possible. Some events require prebooking, many do not. We'd love nothing more than to provide resources and equipment for free, but this is not possible. we ask for contributions towards workshop costs payable on the door by

contactless (preferred) or cash. See here to reserve a place: https://www.taffrocks.org.uk/p/make-reservation.html

We have two types of reservation, if this is something you want to do. We have "workstation", can accommodate up to four people and "individual", we do not mix these in one workshop / class. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Remember to cancel online if you change your mind so the reservations become available for someone else to book. The earlier the notice, the better chance we have of filling the spaces. Non attendance without a cancellation means your table remains empty

What if the support you rely on every day suddenly disappeared?

'Because We Weren’t There...' shines a light on the incredible work of voluntary organisations in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales - voiced by service users, volunteers and the sector employees themselves. From tackling loneliness and isolation to supporting the most vulnerable, volunteers and their organisations are vital to our communities.

But what would happen if they weren’t there?

Trigger warning - this film highlights a range of issues some people may find difficult.

This film was developed with Merthyr Tydfil's Third Sector Leaders' Forum, a group facilitated by Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil, and highlights the important role that voluntary organisations play in supporting local people and strengthening communities across Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. It was produced by Merthyr Valleys Homes on behalf of the sector.
