Accessibility Engagement Day – Brynaman Lido

Brynaman Lido is taking an important next step in the journey to renovate, rejuvenate and reopen the Lido — and they are inviting our community to help shape its future. As part of their feasibility stage, they are hosting a dedicated Accessibility Engagement Day here at Hwb y Gors, bringing together people with lived experience, community organisations, professionals, keen swimmers, families, and anyone passionate about creating a Lido that is welcoming and inclusive for all.

Why you’re invited

Brynaman Lido would like to hear from people who may have:
  • Access needs
  • Sensory needs
  • Mobility challenges
  • Learning disabilities
  • Long‑term health conditions
  • Lived experience that can positively influence the design
They are asking organisations and individuals to:
  • Share this invitation with the people you support
  • Encourage those with lived experience who may wish to use the Lido to attend
  • Join the event yourselves if your work involves accessibility, universal design, or community wellbeing
This is an opportunity for deep listening, understanding barriers, and ensuring the design truly reflects the needs of the community.

Community Mural – Mosaic Workshops

A vibrant new mosaic mural will soon brighten a wall at Hwb y Gors, as we come together to celebrate the stories, history, and heart of the valley.   Come along to create large mosaic sections that will join together to create this amazing mural. Dani from Dani Lee Arts will guide you through everything you need to know to create this wonderful mosaic mural. The story so far… During a series of design workshops in September, we created a fantastic mural design. This design takes inspiration from 1912—the year the building was first opened as a school. It features much-loved local historical landmarks such as the Woollen Mill, Cresci’s Ice Cream Shop, Cwmgors Colliery and Brickworks and other glimpses of life from that era. Now it’s time to bring this incredible design to life — and you can be part of it! Free Community Mosaic Workshops are open to everyone aged 14 and over. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a complete beginner, you’ll find these sessions fun, relaxed, and welcoming. What to Expect at a Mosaic Workshop
