I’m Lisa Michael, the Group Scout Leader of 1st West Pontnewydd Scout Group and we are need of some help. We have a hall in Upper Cwmbran which is showing some signs of disrepair.

We are looking into funding to repair/ replace their garage, investigate and repair issues with subsidence on the extension to main building, repair the roof and to refurbish the kitchen and toilets.

To apply for this funding we need some quotes for the work. We hoping there are some local builders who may be able to help?

These repairs will mean that the young people will have a safer and more pleasant place to spend time, have fun and learn skills for life and also so that the group can open up for use in the wider community.

If you can help please contact me on 07368 290073 or email westpont@torfaenscouts.org.uk
