Re-opening of the Chepstow Community Cabin
Monday 20th June 2022
We are pleased to announce the re-opening of the Chepstow Community Cabin.
The Community Cabin is a building just off the main entrance at Chepstow Community Hospital. The non-clinical space is perfectly situated and invites curiosity from people using the hospital.
The Community Cabin hosts a variety of wellbeing related organisations and charities that are able to provide advice, guidance and support on a wide range of issues from Mental Health and Dementia, to volunteering.
It is aimed at supporting people maintain their independence and remain in their own homes.
Using the Community Cabin as a place to see community members face to face not only helps reduce their isolation, it gives an opportunity to network and work collaboratively with other organisations who also use the cabin space.
