OUR IMPACT
The "Our Impact" pillar is made up of two key focuses - Climate Action and Conscious Consumption. As part of this, we have launched the "Recycle Your Fashion" initiative to breathe new life into your old clothes.
How does it work?
1 - Simply drop your pre-loved items off at our Guest Services Suite.
2 - All the items collected are either donated to those in need or recycled.
3 - As a thank you, you will receive 10% off for your next visit to the centre.
Coming Soon!
We are working this year to install solar panels on the roof of the centre to enable us to power all guest spaces in the centre with renewable energy.
More ways we are making changes
Join the Pipe
We have installed two Join the Pipe water points to give all guests access to free water refills and encourage the reduction in the use of single use plastic bottles.
Rainwater Harvesting
Our Rainwater Harvesting system collects and filters rainwater which is then used in our toilet block closest to Guest Services to provide a sustainable water supply.
Coffee to Compost
As part of our commitment to reduce catering waste, we partner with coffee outlets to recycle their used coffee grounds. Why not visit Guest Services to pick up a bag to take home!

OUR COMMUNITIES
Each year we partner with a local charity to suport the vital work they do, help them to raise funds and bring about further awareness within our community.
For 2023 we partnered with Tenovus Cancer Care who support anyone affected by cancer, giving them help, hope and a voice.
Here are just a few of the ways we worked with Tenovus Cancer Care throughout the year:
- Our centre team completed a series of 25 mile cycling challenges alongside some of Tenovus Cancer Care's ambassadors.
- We have hosted the Bridgend Sing With Us Choir on numerous occasions who have delighted guests with their performances and raised money for the charity.
Coming Soon!
Our centre team will soon be undertaking volunteering days to support our local communities.
As we have entered a new year, we will also be partnering with another local charity for 2024.
Keep an eye on our social media channels for the big announcement!
