PRESS RELEASE : Almost £125,000 for Resource and Training Centre [January 2023]

The press release issued by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on 17 January 2023.

The Community Ownership Fund allocated £124,258 to the CANA Resource and Training Centre. The centre is in a converted nineteenth century chapel in the Pen-y-Waun estate in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

The funding will:

• equip locals with appropriate skills and qualifications
• set up a training centre

Equipping local people for local jobs

This training centre will help local people gain the skills needed for jobs in the area, and those expected to be in demand in the future.

The investment will help regenerate the physical structure of the building. It will also provide a facility that generates an income. This will ensure the centre’s sustainability in the long term.
