BRONLLYS: THE NEXT TEN YEARS (2020-2030)
Project for Wales and beyond.” Its mission was to “...initiate, promote and develop wellbeing and social care facilities within Bronllys Community Hospital grounds to add value to the health services provided on site.”
It proposed to do this by:
 “Establishing economic and environmentally sustainable well-being projects
 Supporting employment opportunities
 Initiating and organising social and sporting activities to improve lifestyle and
well-being, and
 Provide genuinely affordable housing.”
The group gained the support of the community CEO Bob Hudson PTHB, CEO Jeremy Pattison PCC and Powys Community Health Council. On their advice and recommendation, the report was taken to Welsh Government.
At the behest of the then Welsh Health Minister Mark Drakeford, PHWBAG were invited to Cardiff to present their report to WG Estates Department. They, in turn advised PTHB and PCC to work with the Action Group and for it to become a legal
entity. PHWBAG incorporated as a Community Benefit Society and Community Land Trust, and became Bronllys Well Being Park (Community Land Trust) Limited (BWBP).
Now (September 2020) BWBP has a growing membership of over 500 local people and has been working with PTHB and PCC on a number of initiatives, including:
 A review of the possibilities and implications of restoring and repurposing the listed Chapel (2016 ongoing)
 Supporting the Veteran’s Group in completing the Woodland Walk (2017)
 Establishing a Community Office as a base for BWBP and other Community
Groups (2018)
 Establishing the Eco-Therapy Network (2018)
 Working with the Veteran’s Group to organise the First World War
Commemoration (2018)
 Producing a series of Feasibility Studies in relation to Bronllys Community
Hospital site (2018 ongoing)
 Developing the Well Being Measured Mile project to commemorate the
Hospital’s Centenary and associated grounds maintenance (2019 ongoing)
 Exploring the development of a Well Being Bronllys Hospital and Community
Radio (2019 ongoing).
