Community Support Centre opens

A new Community Support Centre opened on 9th October at Aberafan Shopping Centre, with the Secretary of State for Wales The Rt. Hon. Jo Stevens MP in attendance.

Over 80 guests launched the opening alongside TATA employees wearing workwear.

The facility, being opened by the union Community with funding from Welsh Government, will support and provide bespoke advice to Tata and supply chain workers, their families and affected businesses offering a single, physical point of contact. It will include directing people towards the help that’s available from the Employment Support Fund. This fund is backed by the UK Government’s recent release of £13.5 million from the Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board, and is to help individual workers to find jobs, learn new skills and gain qualifications in areas where there are vacancies.
