Are YOU someone who could bring valuable experience, insight, and leadership to our campaign?
We are looking for people to join our board of trustees, and to help us navigate the next phase of our campaign to buy The Pop Factory in Porth.

🏭 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ⚠️

People with experience of capital and revenue fundraising, buildings management and legal support.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.

If this sounds like you or someone you know, we would love to hear from you!
Contact [email protected] for a recruitment pack, further information or to arrange a meeting with the current trustees.

We're back after a busy summer!
Since our last fundraising event we have been in discussions with the local council, Welsh government, local businesses, and funders coming up with ways in which we can keep The Pop Factory as a community asset
Funding applications have been made, loans applied for, and awareness raised of what we are doing. These things take time. However, we are aiming to be able to make an offer on The Pop Factory soon.
We are planning more events this autumn to keep the campaign at the forefront of people's minds and to continue raising funds.
We will be in touch shortly with ways in which you can get involved.
Thank you for all the continued support!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our crowdfunder, or attended one of our campaign events so far. Thanks to you we have raised £13,000 to our campaign! Our official Crowdfunder campaign may have ended, but the link is still active for those of you who want to get involved.

The Pop Factory Ltd will be taking a short break through the month of August while we take stock and attend some very important meetings. We will be back shortly with some exciting news, and details about Phase 2 of the campaign!
