Dear Miners’ Centre friends and visitors,

We are still here for you with online activities throughout lockdown and planning for a re-opening soon.
In the meantime, if you would like information about our online social events, classes and activities, please get in touch.
We have online dance classes, seated dance, chair exercises, French, Spanish and Welsh classes, Art and the Elderberries Social group. Or you can join one of our planning groups for children’s crafts, knitting, gardening, music and we have daily challenges.

We will get through this together!

About
Our Roots
The Beeches was originally a mansion owned by a wealthy mining contractor, but in a remarkable endeavor it was bought by mine workers from 29 local pits using money collected via weekly contributions from their wages. It was bought in 1919 and they converted the mansion into a hospital and ‘The Miners’ as it became affectionately known went on to serve the healthcare needs of local people for nearly 90 years.
