we are Community
we are arts factory

Arts Factory has one simple aim and that’s to create life-changing opportunities for people who feel marginalised and think that they no longer matter. We believe, more than anything, that no one should be written off and that everyone has something positive to contribute to our community.

Wellbeing

Arts Factory combats loneliness and isolation for people living in the Rhondda Fach. We introduce people to social situations, enhancing their health, wellbeing, and confidence with open access activities like crafts, light exercise, cooking, gardening, and guest speakers. We offer wraparound support such as guidance and assistance to everyone accessing our projects.
