We have built a strong platform of success. However, there is still much for us to achieve, and as a new organisation we welcome new ideas and new ways of thinking. We are currently seeking new non-executive trustees to join our board. They will be critical in establishing the new narrative and enhancing our reputation and brand. The trust is undergoing a radical transformation and is an exciting place, at a critical time, where the right people can make a difference. Thank you for your interest and Pob Lwc! Hannah Hannah Kester Chair of the Board of Trustees WELLBEING @ MERTHYR TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT PACK Page 3 Letter from our Interim CEO Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of Trustees. We are a not-for-profit charitable company with responsibility for delivering leisure and cultural services within the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil, in a cost effective way. The trust is currently embarking on a new phase in its evolution. Building on the significant successes to date, it now needs to move away from the perception of being a collection of separate venues, to one entity which is focused on establishing itself as a regional cultural venue with rich historical heritage. The trust has built a very strong platform of success during its pivotal first few years, and these roles offers the opportunity for you to bring your ideas, creativity, passion, knowledge and experience to the Trust. I look forward to receiving your application.

  • Background and Context
    Background and Context On 21 October, 1966 Tip No 7 which forms part of the main complex of tips at Aberfan slipped and descended upon part of the village killing 116 children and 29 adults. The tragedy occurred just after nine o’clock in the morning under circumstances which apparently precluded the issue of warning. The presence of a mountain mist obscured the cascading torrent of slag so that, except for an ominous rumble, the villagers were unaware of the catastrophic fate which was about to overtake them. To make matters worse the roaring torrent burst the water main in the disused canal and several million gallons of water were released converting the slag into slurry or a muddy slime. Immediately in the path of the torrent was the junior school which was attended by pupils in the age range five to eleven years and classes had already begun. The school received the direct impact of the rolling mass and it was not long before the slurry found entry into the school through windows, doors and other apertures caused by the effect of the damage. Some account of what followed has been given by those who survived the disaster and it seems that, with the total unexpectedness of such an onslaught and the attendant delay in realising what was happening, there was naturally a time lag between the engulfing of the school and the attempts by those inside to escape or to take measures of safety. Nearby was the senior school which was attended by pupils in the age range eleven to fifteen years.
