Giving Back to the Community

Transforming communal outdoor living at Gerddi’r Ffynnon

A generous donation from Castlemead Group Ltd has transformed a communal outdoor space at Gerddi’r Ffynnon in Aberystwyth, providing residents with a more comfortable and welcoming place to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

The project began when the residents’ Social Club identified that the existing garden furniture outside the laundry room had started to rot and deteriorate. Working alongside Rhiannon Ling at Wales & West Housing, the club explored replacement options before finding durable eucalyptus hardwood furniture from Rowlinson Garden Products, with an expected lifespan of 20–25 years.

Keen to support the community, Castlemead Group Ltd, a supplier to Wales & West Housing, generously donated the new furniture and offered to assemble it on site. The furniture was ordered, delivered and installed between 10th and 29th September.

“The new furniture is much better than the old seating and considerably more comfortable.”
- Rowenna, Resident at Gerddi’r Ffynnon for 32 years

This project reflects Castlemead Group Ltd’s commitment to community spirit and collaboration, demonstrating how a simple act of generosity can make a lasting difference to residents’ everyday lives.

Castlemead Group Ltd would like to thank Wales & West Housing and everyone involved in bringing this project to life.
