Units to let at the Pontypridd YMCA

Description of the goods or services required

The Pontypridd YMCA is currently undergoing an ambitious redevelopment project which will bring the historic building back into use, for the benefit of the community.

This work is being undertaken with funding from the Arts Council of Wales and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council. The goal of the project is to create a facility that can amplify the energy and vitality of the Valleys and make a difference to people’s lives through participation in high-quality arts experiences.

The ambitious plans will bring the historic local venue back into community use by winter 2021, and will be run by Artis Community on behalf of the stakeholders.

We're now looking for like-minded organisations to join the Pontypridd YMCA community.

We have a range of office, nursery, retail and cafe spaces available to rent from Autumn 2021, and we'd love for you to join us on this incredibly exciting journey.
