The Friends of Blaina Hospital in High Street opened in the mid 1990s. Staffed by locals, it is open five mornings a week, selling donated items such as bric-a-brac, CDs, books and toys. Funds raised were spent at Blaina Hospital until its closure in 2010. The charity bought things patients needed, such as televisions for wards and heart monitors. After the closure of the hospital, funds raised here have gone to the new Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan in Ebbw Vale.
