Redevelopment of an entire Welsh village with unique history is underway
Work is set to start on new homes in a redevelopment of an entire Welsh village. Penrhos Polish Village, just outside Pwllheli, was founded in 1949 by the Polish Housing Society Ltd. It housed exiled Polish airmen and soldiers who remained in the UK following World War Two. There were around 100 exiled airmen, soldiers and sailors living there. They established a Polish-speaking community on the former RAF Penrhos base. It had its own church, library, a large communal dining hall, shop and allotments as well as a care home for veterans. But the condition of the 107 homes have deteriorated over the years and in 2022 plans were submitted to build more than 100 news homes - with the old properties demolished. The first phase of redevelopment at Penrhos Polish Village will see the construction of 44 new homes. This scheme was made possible thanks to investment of a Welsh Government grant, following discussions between ClwydAlyn, Cyngor Gwynedd and Welsh Government. Welsh social homes provider ClwydAlyn has confirmed that contracts have been signed with Williams Homes, Bala who will build 107-energy efficient homes. Once complete, these new properties will be prioritised to current residents who already live at Penrhos Polish Village and people with low to medium care and support needs from the local community. With scheduled pre-commencement works now complete, emphasis at the site is on the first phase of construction. This development is separate, but closely connected, to plans by Cyngor Gwynedd and the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to develop a new nursing and residential home at Penrhos. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox ClwydAlyn said it has emphasised that preservation of the Polish and Welsh heritage at the site is of upmost importance. CADW has carried out an assessment of the site; making the decision that the Freedom Cross will be listed as a structure of historical and cultural interest, so that it can be protected for future generations. The church and walled gardens will also be safeguarded and ClwydAlyn will work alongside residents and the local community to preserve and protect the Welsh and Polish history at Penrhos. Councillor Paul Rowlinson, Gwynedd Cabinet Member for Housing and Property, said: "I'm pleased to welcome the significant progress being made as this Pen Llŷn housing development enters its next phase. Addressing the housing crisis remains a key priority for Cyngor Gwynedd—especially in areas like this, where a very large percentage of local people are priced out of the market. "Through strong partnerships with housing associations such as ClwydAlyn, we are working together to deliver more high-quality, affordable homes for communities across the county." Dylan Davies, Senior Development Project Manager at ClwydAlyn, said: 'As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality homes, we believe it's essential that all our partners play an active role in supporting our communities. "This shared responsibility can take many forms and is guided by our ambition to end poverty in Wales. Whether that is by creating opportunities for employment, tackling loneliness, supporting residents with fuel costs or improving access to nutritious foods; all these efforts can help our communities to thrive.' Owain Williams, Joint Managing Director, Williams Homes (Bala) said: 'Williams Homes is pleased to be working with ClwydAlyn and Welsh Government to deliver this exciting project. Developing new energy efficient homes to replace the existing outdated housing stock whilst being sensitive to the history of the former Polish "Village and the current residents. The development will create over 20 jobs for local people and contribute to the local economy for the duration of the construction period.'

The club that brings together teens, pensioners and refugees to meet and mix
The club that brings together teens, pensioners and refugees to meet and mix Grangetown Boys and Girls Club is getting everyone involved in shared projects The club helps many who face the effects of poverty, isolation, and social change (Image: Rahaf Ali ) At at time when youth services has seen steep cuts, one of Cardiff's few remaining open-access youth centres is working to reconnect communities across generations and cultures. Grangetown Boys and Girls Club offers a range of programmes not only for young children and teenagers but also groups of all ages, many of whom face the effects of poverty, isolation, and social change. 'We're unique in that respect,' said Mathew Salley, development manager at the club. 'Youth provision has been reduced by around 70% across Cardiff due to austerity and the cost-of-living crisis. But we're still here, open to everyone, led by the community.' Mathew, who has worked in the voluntary sector for over 20 years, says the club now operates on an intergenerational model that brings together pensioners, young people, and newer migrant communities. Projects set up by the club range from sports and cooking sessions to gardening, outdoor activities, and volunteer work. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here 'We have a Tuesday group called Made with Love, which is for older residents. On Fridays, we run a session called Cartref, which is the Welsh word for home and is designed to bring together asylum seekers, refugees, and residents,' he said. 'It's not about separating people into groups; it's about getting everyone involved in shared projects.' Mathew stresses the importance of those who are new to the UK in integrating with the community. 'With the political situation at the moment, there's a lot of resentment, it's really important for the guys that I work with to be part of the community straight away', he says. He explains the projects the Grangetown Youth Club provides for refugees and asylum seekers. Article continues below He describes the projects as 'we are not sitting around all day drinking tea we're out in the community, for example we do river cleans with whitewater centre in Cardiff, we helped when storm Darragh flooded the valleys, we get voluntary work right across the border, its important for our people to be involved with the wide community because it helps with improving English and understanding the culture', he reiterates. Recent work with construction firm Wates has helped renovate the centre, including garden clearance, plans for a new kitchen, and improved heating and windows. 'We don't have much funding, so when Wates came in and tidied the place up, it was huge for us,' Mathew explained. 'They even brought volunteers to help clean the garden, which is important because we grow our food and run environmental sessions in the garden.' But for Mathew, the renovations are part of something bigger: rebuilding the kind of community cohesion he remembers growing up in Grangetown and the Cardiff docks. 'I grew up on Alice Street,' he recalled. 'My father was Muslim, my mother Christian. We celebrated Eid and Christmas, and it was all just community. Everyone came together.' The club's approach challenges the modern form of community support, where services for different age groups often don't overlap. 'We want to go back to a simpler approach, just people coming together, through storytelling or just being in the company, so we even do activities where younger people will cook with older people, giving the opportunity to talk about things and to learn. It's about creating a sense of belonging again,' Mathew said. As Grangetown continues to change, with new housing developments and more residents moving in from across the UK, Salley believes it's crucial that new and existing communities meet and mix, rather than remain divided by culture or class. 'There's a strong Welsh-speaking community here, but they're not always involved in projects like this,' he said. 'We want to change that, to bring everyone in, so that when decisions are made, it's done as a collective voice.' Despite limited public funding, the club is backed by the National Lottery's People's Trust and has secured new partnerships that may open employment pathways for residents. As Mathew puts it, the centre is 'small in size but big in purpose.' 'It's not just about helping young people,' he added. 'It's about helping Grangetown remember what it means to be one community.'
