Community projects
We all need to connect with others, and to feel part of the world around us. Our community projects and wellbeing activities give people the chance to come together, learn new skills and hobbies and enjoy spending time with each other – whatever their confidence level.
Bargoed
Community Garden
We work with Taraggan, a community organic gardening project based in Bargoed. Taraggan brings people of all backgrounds together, helping them to learn allotment and gardening skills, grow great organic produce, and connect with nature. The produce grown is then sold to the local community at good prices, so the gardeners’ good work goes further.
Taraggan always welcomes donations of scrap wood, seeds and soil. If you would like to get involved with the project, or make a donation, please get in touch.

Warm Welcome & Perfect Fit
Our Platfform team, working alongside our brilliant volunteers, are based at the Bargoed Community Centre where they hold weekly Warm Welcome sessions every Thursday from 10am to 12.30pm. They offer free breakfast pastries, fresh fruit, tea and coffee plus complimentary toiletries or books to take away. You can also access our free Perfect Fit clothes rails to help you find the perfect outfit, whether that’s for a job interview, workwear or a special occasion. Advisors from Platfform’s housing and tenancy team are also on hand to help you with any support or advice you need in that area.
