Wales REACH
Wales REACH is a heritage and creative arts project supporting people in five areas of Wales to explore connections with the histories of their local areas.
Working with local partners including community leaders, housing associations and Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, the Open University in Wales has developed a project that enables participants to learn creatively about the histories that have shaped their communities. Communities involved in the project include:
- People living in Butetown in Cardiff, one the UK’s oldest multicultural communities
- The Sandfields area of Port Talbot, a town that has been at the heart of Wales’s industrial history
- Several semi-rural areas across Pembrokeshire
- People with a learning disability living in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan
- Areas of Gwynedd with links to quarrying and slate mining
