Pink Storage Community Change shortlist announced

Pink Storage is proud to announce the shortlist of inspiring community organisations from South Wales chosen for our inaugural Community Change programme. Launched this year, the initiative aims to support grassroots groups making a real and positive impact in their local communities.

With the tough decision of selecting just one winner now in the public's hands, we invite you to learn more about the three exceptional finalists before casting your vote.

Pink Storage’s shortlisted organisations are:

1. Ffrindiau Awel Taf (PTFA of YGG Awel Taf, Rhydyfelin) - After the merger of two schools, nearly 400 pupils at YGG Awel Taf have been left without a suitable outdoor area for play and learning. The PTFA wants to transform the underused space available into a vibrant, engaging environment to support children’s well-being and development. Funding would also help build a stronger school community through events that connect and support families.
2. Rhydyfelin Netball Club - Established in 2016 with just one ball and a shared passion, Rhydyfelin Netball Club has grown into a welcoming, multi-age club with ten teams focusing on inclusion and empowerment. It seeks funding to support two of its teams attending their first netball tour in four years.  The opportunity will help uplift women and girls in the teams and strengthen community ties.
3. Ynysybwl RFC Minis - Re-launched in 2022, Ynysybwl RFC Minis supports more than 40 young players across three age groups, offering free access to play rugby. The club would like to install a refreshment container at the Recreation Ground, boosting self-sustainability and helping fund essential resources like vital equipment. Its goal is to make rugby accessible to every child, building skills and community pride.

To vote, simply visit our Facebook page, find the pinned post featuring the three finalists, and comment with the name of the project you think deserves to win.

Remember, the winner will receive £1,000 and the two runners up will be gifted £200 each.

Whether it’s giving kids a place to play, supporting sports groups to go on tour, or making young rugby more accessible to all — your votes count and will help these incredible organisations achieve their dreams of supporting the wider community.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered, and best of luck to our fantastic final three!
