Bon-y-maen Communities First Group and Community Archives Wales
The group was established in July 2006 to provide meetings/classes of interest to the members. Simply Us is a group of between fifteen and twenty women between the ages of twenty and forty that regularly meet in Bon-y-maen Communities First Centre. The group was established in July 2006 to provide meetings/classes of interest to the members to help them gain confidence and new skills. In 2007 they joined the Community Archives Wales project. The group are researching the history of the carnival in Bon-y-maen and have already gathered a number of photographs, programmes and costumes to digitise for their community archive. There is a wonderful community spirit in Bon-y-maen and an infectious enthusiasm for the project throughout the wider community involving all age groups.
