The colourful panels of the Blaengarw Workmen's Hall. An astonishing little-known fact: that Blaengarw is home to the largest Time Bank in Europe the Blaengarw Time Centre, hosted by Creation Group. The Blaengarw Time Centre is based in Blaengarw Workmen's Hall which was bought by the community in 2000. For every hour spent on community work citizens receive one "Time Credit" which can be used to attend one hour of a social, educational or cultural event. Community assets in the village include a food shop, a community café, a heritage café, a digital inclusion centre, a community library and a sculpture studio. Activities organised by the centre include coffee mornings, arts classes, information technology classes, a youth club, dance and drama workshops, sugar craft and after-school clubs. http://www.summer-foundation.org/en/Initiatives/Blaengarw-Time-Centre
