Ty’n Llan in Llandwrog, diversifies services to help local residents come together with support from Pub is The Hub
The Ty’n Llan in Llandwrog, North Wales, is the first pub to be supported in diversifying its services as part of a new two-year programme for Wales from Pub is The Hub in partnership with The Prince’s Countryside Fund.
Pub is The Hub, the not-for-profit organisation that helps pubs to diversify and provide essential local services, is supporting projects in rural areas across Wales after receiving a grant of £25,000 from The Prince’s Countryside Fund.

a community benefit society called Menter Ty’n Llan. The core vision to create a busy community hub, encouraging a wide range of ages and interest groups to come together. Its focus is also to support local people by promoting wellbeing and helping to tackle the issues of social isolation and loneliness.
Expert help and a Community Services Fund grant from Pub is The Hub was provided to help support the pub’s calendar of social events, groups and volunteer opportunities. The grant helped with the purchase of equipment to assist these groups, including a crock pot, soup warmer, bingo machine, portable PA, IT equipment, PlayStation, iPad, and garden tools.
This has helped to support an over 60s lunch club, quiz and bingo evenings for all the community, and local clubs including a young people’s group, which have Chromebooks and a PlayStation for educational sessions, entertainment and socialising.

There are now also opportunities for volunteers to be involved in the upkeep of the garden, which includes a sensory and wellbeing corner, for all the community to enjoy.
Chair of the Management Committee of Menter Ty’n Llan, the community benefit society that owns and runs the pub, Caryl Elin Lewis said: “The range of activities offered at the pub has created a real sense of community
