Gardd O Gobaith & RecoverED — exploring history with Gwent Archives.

We’re excited to be developing a new community project in partnership with Gwent Archives, delving into the historical records of Pen y Fal Hospital, the former county asylum. Together, we hope to explore the stories, context, and heritage held within these archives, creating space for reflection, learning, and meaningful discussion.
We’re currently looking for interested people who would like to be part of this developing project. We haven’t yet confirmed whether meetings will be mid week or on weekends, but discussions are underway. If you think you might want to book a space, please text 07917086331 and we will contact you back with more information as the project develops.Gwent Archives gwentarchives recovered_wales_Recovered Wales

** RecoverED Wales is proud to be working alongside Gardd O Gobaith and seeing them achieve and their shortlisting. Please read below **

We would like to thank Bron Afon Social Housing for nominating Gardd O Gobaith for the Travis Perkins national Better Together Social Value Awards. The category Gardd O Gobaith was nominated to, ‘WE CARE’, recognises a community initiative that exhibits outstanding commitment and dedication to caring for individuals as well as fostering empathy and inclusivity. And we have some terrific news to add because the nomination has now been shortlisted into the top four places in the ‘We Care’ category – we’re finalists .

The adjudicators noted that the standard of entry across all categories was exceptionally high, making the final selection very difficult. So we are immensely proud of having national recognition.

What this shortlisting recognises at a local and national level is our commitment to creating a safe and inclusive place which rests at the heart of our community, run by and for people – enriched with their knowledge and genuine empathy alongside co-productive inclusivity.

We will update soon with information regarding the awards ceremony.

It’s been a busy 2025 and to sum it up: our work with a local university keeps increasing where we are delivering the unique Mental Health Awareness to hundreds of future frontline workers who want to support the work we do.
- And to top it off we have a great group of people who believe in the simplicity of people delivering to people – we call it RecoverED Wales.

So, we wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year for 2026.

Thank you for your continued support.

🎉 Happy New Year 🎉

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).
