CETMA is delighted to announce a major milestone for our work in Kidwelly. We have officially secured a permanent base in the town with the purchase of the former Kidwelly Post Office.
This achievement has been made possible thanks to generous funding from The Welsh Government, The Moondance Foundation, and WCVA (Wales Council for Voluntary Action). Their support ensures that essential community services can remain rooted in Kidwelly for the long term. We would also like to acknowledge the invaluable guidance and encouragement we’ve received from the team at CWMPAS, whose support has helped us move this project forward with confidence.
With the building now in CETMA’s ownership, plans are already underway to reopen the Post Office as soon as possible. Alongside this, the Foodbank and Community Fridge will be relocated to the old sorting office, creating a dedicated, practical space to support local residents.
This investment safeguards vital services for the town, keeping the Post Office, Community Fridge, and Foodbank accessible to everyone who relies on them.
Orianna Evans, Director at CETMA, said:
“This is a huge step forward for Kidwelly. Securing a permanent home means we can protect essential services and continue supporting local people with dignity, consistency, and care. We’re incredibly grateful to our funders for believing in the importance of community led work.”
Jonathan Williams, Managing Director of CETMA, added:
“The purchase of the Post Office gives us the stability we need to grow. It allows us to keep vital services in the heart of Kidwelly and to plan for the future with confidence. This is a proud moment for CETMA and for the community we serve.”
As work begins on reopening the Post Office and relocating services, CETMA remains open at the old police station.
