A huge thank you we are so grateful to Smart Darts for your kind donation of a black dartboard surround for our novice community wellbeing dart group at Recovered Wales/Gardd O Gobaith. It’s certainly saving those holes in the log cabin. Thank you 😊

The team at RecoverED Wales have been busy renovating this cabinet, and it is now open to offers. All proceeds will go back into the upcycling project. Details are below:

** For Sale **

We think the cabinet is walnut - Victorian, and is known (we think) as a court cabinet (we’ve just done loads of Google searches, so this is no more than guess work). There is some ‘wear and tear’ damage - which we’ve repaired. We’ve used teak oil just to replenish the timber - so there’s scope to finish further - if wanted. We’ve really enjoyed watching the transformation but we are now looking for offers on the cabinet. And to be sure, any profits will be used purely for the development of a community focussed wellbeing space where we are basing the up-cycling group (amongst other things). We are not profit driven but we are passionate about developing a site which gives attention to sustaining our community wellbeing - and that includes reusing/recycling and reclaiming - in all its different forms. Please contact RecoverED Wales - if anyone wishes to enquire about the cabinet (or anything else).

Before the clock strikes midnight we at RecoverED Wales would like to wish all our families, friends and supporters A Happy New Year. Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to 2025 - a year full of kindness and compassion 😊

Fancy helping us develop an upcycling site? Then we may just have the opportunity for you.
We are a friendly community group building a base in Upper Cwmbran.

We have limited space so it’ll be on a first come, first served basis
We haven’t set any schedule yet for times or dates for meeting so there’s significant flexibility to shape the way the initiative is taken forward. We are keen to get started though so if you are interested then please do get in touch with us as soon as you can by either texting or calling Mark on 07917086331
