FOUNDRY HOUSE GETS FUNDING FOR REFURBISHMENT
Pembroke is going to benefit from a newly refurbished community centre as a result of grants from the Lottery and the Welsh Assembly Government recently announced.
Local people of all ages will benefit from grants totaling £694,770 providing new community facilities, opportunities for community involvement and decision making and training for unemployed young people.
The announcement from the Big Lottery People and Places programme of £300,000 capital and £124,770 revenue funding over three years, matches a £270,000 capital grant already approved from the Welsh Assembly Government’s Community Facilities and Activities Programme.
Gareth Jones, Chair of Pembroke 21C Community Association, based in Foundry House on Pembroke Commons said “We are thrilled to receive this grant from Big Lottery which with the funding already received from WAG will have a major impact on the regeneration of Pembroke. The sustainably improved community centre will provide an accessible hub for volunteering, training, community development and leisure time activities, and the revenue funding will enable us to provide employment for three people full time and one part-time.”
Residents throughout Pembroke will take part in a consultation process to renew the Pembroke Action Plan for the next five years. Pembroke 21C was born out of the original action plan which took place ten years ago. Since then it has developed several community projects for Pembroke including Holyland Wood, habitat improvements on the Mill Ponds, the Pembroke Festival and Pembroke Farmers Market, and raised the funds to purchase Foundry House (which was a Community Education Centre) for the community.
Angela Burns AM said, “This is good news for Pembroke and I would encourage everyone to come and take a look at the facilities that will be on offer. To have a place as well equipped as this is wonderful for the community and well done to the Team for all their hard work. “
Highlighting the importance of the People and Places programme, Big Lottery Fund Wales Committee Member and Chair of the People and Places Committee, Janet Reed, said: “Programmes like People and Places are making a difference to the lives of so many people in communities across Wales. It delivers on our promise to use Lottery funding to regenerate and revitalize communities, tackle disadvantage head on and leave a lasting legacy. I’m sure this project will have a positive impact on the lives of many people in the community and will continue to do so for years to come."
Work on the refurbishment of Foundry House is due to start in the Summer and will last for about six months. Pembroke 21C will do their best to ensure that groups can continue to use the building safely during this time.

So in addition to seeking your views in Foundry House, in Network and through this website we are planning a full consultation of all our stakeholders over the coming two years.
