Welsh language groups
Join us every Wednesday at Bethania Chapel for a cosy hour of Welsh language and culture from 12:00 to 13:00.
It’s a time to celebrate our rich heritage, from the industrial past to the Neath Canal, and keep the Welsh language alive and thriving.
Together, we will enhance and protect the Neath Valley’s canal environment for everyone to enjoy. Our journey began in 2019 with a series of canal clean-up events, which highlighted the untapped potential of community spirit to improve where we live.
In 2021, funded by the Welsh government’s Coronavirus Recovery Grant for Volunteering, we partnered with Cardiff University to draw up Ty Banc’s approach to volunteering embedded with the 7 goals of the Wellbeing for Future Generation Act 2015
The Welsh language, known as Cymraeg, has a history that dates back over a thousand years. It is one of the oldest languages in Europe, with its roots in the Brythonic branch of the Celtic languages. The history of learning Welsh is connected with the cultural and political history of Wales.
Every Wednesday from 12-1 PM, Tybanc participates in a Welsh club meeting at Bathaniel Chapel in Glynneath. This event offers an opportunity for people of all ages to learn Welsh, ranging from beginners to advanced levels, and it is free of charge.
