Civic Play
Torfaen Play Service have opened a new play facility at Pontypool Civic Centre to support parents and children under the age of eleven.
The ‘Play Room’ is located on Floor 1 and offers a diverse range of play provisions for referred families to engage in, including Lego clubs, family play, dad’s groups, disability groups and a young carers play club.
A creche will also be available for parents who are attending training in the building.
To be eligible, families need to be referred to the Play Service through existing support networks such as Families First or Torfaen Early Years. Self-referrals can also be made by emailing torfaenplay@torfaen.gov.uk
