Abertillery Blaenau Gwent Rugby Club have taken the bold step of taking
ownership of the playing fields and grandstand at Abertillery Park from the
Local authority . We are now looking for your help to help protect, repair and regenerate the area and facilities for all the community.

You can donate here,

Due to recent years of austerity Blaenau Gwent County Borough cannot
continue to maintain the Park, this would have meant Rugby at Abertillery Park
could have been lost forever!!

Unfortunately the park and the facilities has suffered from a lack of investment,
vandalism, anti-social behaviour and care over recent years. This will require a
substantial amount of investment and hard work to protect, repair and restore.

Undoubtedly if left unoccupied and untended the facilities at the park would
continue to be subjected to vandalism and anti-social behaviour and this would
severely impact the surrounding area and the community.

Fortunately a team of local volunteers have joined forces with
Abertillery BG RFC to help save rugby at the park and ensure the parks facilities and public areas are restored for all. The team are planning to raise enough
money to

· Improve the level of CCTV and fencing to deter the amount of vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

· Refurbish the changing rooms, showers, toilets and first aid room all of which need urgent attention.

· Repair the external areas around the ground and grandstand to help enhance the local environment for all the community to enjoy.

· Convert underneath the stand into a community multifunctional area for all
age groups complete with Bar and Kitchen facilities, this facility will also be
available for any other local community groups to use.

· Our aim is to provide a sustainable, vibrant and friendly community facility at the heart of Abertillery, where all the community can connect and all are made
welcome.
