Llanpumsaint Community Information Exchange
Llanpumsaint Community Information Exchange is an information service set up and operated by the communities of Llanpumsaint, Ffynnon Henri and Nebo. The aim of the service is provide much needed community news, information on events and activities, facilities and updates on the groups working in the area. The service combines an online information portal, which is updated by representatives of all the local community organisations, and an offline newsletter produced in-house by members of the Exchange. Since the closure of the village post office these neighbouring communities have suffered from a lack of social interaction and a place to advertise events and activities, leaving some members of the community isolated and detached from the village. The new Information Exchange website is all about bringing back a 'hub' for information and making sure that everyone is able to participate.
This project was funded by The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the Welsh Assembly Government and Carmarthenshire County Council.
