In this episode of Tidy People, we travelled to Ton Pentre to meet the remarkable community at Valley Veterans, an organisation that has been quietly changing—and saving—lives for almost 25 years.
At the heart of it all is founder Paul Bromwell, who set up the group after returning home from service and realising just how much help he needed himself. What began with Paul supporting a handful of local veterans has now grown into one of the most active and wide-reaching veterans’ organisations in Wales.
“You walk through that door and you’ll find what you’ve been missing.”
Yn y bennod hon o Tidy People, fe wnaethom ni deithio i Don Pentre i gwrdd â'r gymuned ryfeddol yn Valley Veterans, sefydliad sydd wedi bod yn gweithio’n dawel yn newid bywydau – ac yn eu hachub – ers bron i 25 mlynedd.
Wrth wraidd y cyfan, mae'r sylfaenydd Paul Bromwell, a sefydlodd y grŵp ar ôl dychwelyd adref o'r lluoedd arfog a sylweddoli faint o help oedd ei angen arno. Mae'r hyn a ddechreuodd gyda Paul yn cefnogi llond llaw o gyn-filwyr lleol bellach wedi tyfu i fod yn un o'r sefydliadau mwyaf gweithgar ac eang i gyn-filwyr yng Nghymru.
"Wrth gerdded trwy'r drws, rydych chi’n darganfod yr hyn sydd wedi bod ar goll.”
