The population is 7,694, 4,404 of which are working age. Treorchy has a thriving high street with many shops and cafes and is in the running as one of the 3 Welsh finalists for Highs Street of the Year award. There are 2 large supermarkets and an Treorchy High Street industrial estate providing local employment. There is also a High school with sixth form Cwmparc Community Centre opportunities for young people in the area Cwmparc is a village and district of the community of Treorchy, 0.8 miles from Treorchy. It is more of a residential area, however St Georges Church Hall located in Cwmparc offers a variety of activities for the community, including Yoga, playgroup and history classes. Ynyswen is a village in the community of Treorchy, 0.6 miles north of Treorchy. It consists mostly of housing but has an industrial estate which was once the site of the Burberry’s factory, one shop and the Forest View Medical Centre. Although there are no petrol stations in the Treorchy area, transport is relatively good throughout the valley. However, there is no Sunday bus service in Cwmparc. Treorchy has a large population of young people and although there are opportunities to engage with sport activities it is evident that there are fewer affordable activities for young women to engage in.

Treherbert is the upper most community of the Rhondda Fawr and encompasses the districts of Blaencwm, Blaenrhondda, Tynewydd and Pen-yr-englyn. Blaen-y-Cwm and Blaenrhondda are at the head the Rhondda Fawr valley. With Treherbert, Tynewydd, Blaencwm, Blaenrhondda and Pen-yr-englyn it is part of a community of Treherbert.

The entire upper Rhondda has beautiful outdoor green spaces and although each village is its own community as they mostly run straight into each other communities are well linked. There are very few shops in Tynewydd, Blaencwm and Blaenrhondda but Treherbert has an active busy high street. Whilst there is a lack of variety of activities for young people the very close proximity of towns and village in the Rhondda Fawr mean that people from Treherbert to Blaencwm drive through / visit Treorchy which is the main hub of the Upper Rhondda on almost a daily basis. The Welcome to our Woods, Create Your Space Programme is a long-term Lottery funded placed based approach to supporting the community improve health and wellbeing and the local economy through better use of the natural assets in the Upper Rhondda working to connect villages - the activities taking place in the area, especially the Welcome to Our Woods activities are connecting people living in the local villages.
