Greener Abergavenny turns ideas into action through a diverse range of community-led projects.
From restoring local green spaces and promoting renewable energy to hosting our flagship town fair, we are working to build a more sustainable and resilient Abergavenny.
Here are some of our projects to date:
​
​Visit a Heat Pump is a UK-wide scheme from NESTA that connects people with hosts who have already been through the process of choosing and installing a heat pump. It's an opportunity to ask questions and arrange a visit.
​
You can use the platform to:
​
-
Search for hosts near you and learn from people who have "done it."
-
Book an upcoming event or message hosts directly to arrange a visit or ask questions.
-
Learn firsthand from heat pump owners and experts.​
​
Greener Abergavenny has shared information about the scheme, and we now have several local hosts ready to share their experiences with anyone interested in evaluating the technology.

TrydaNi is a community-owned, electric car-sharing service that operates across Wales. It offers the convenience of using a car without the cost and hassle of ownership.
​
Greener Abergavenny is supporting the potential introduction of a TrydaNi EV car club in the town. By promoting the scheme, we have already helped over 20 people register as interested members.
​
We are now working with TrydaNi and the Town and County Council to identify a suitable location for the vehicle's parking and charging point, with the goal of launching the scheme.

Nevill Hall Nature Spaces
The group's aim is to work with the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and the local community to restore and develop the historic gardens of Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny. This is achieved by providing volunteer support and charitable funding.
​
Our goal is to make these spaces a resource for patients, staff, and the general public. We aim to improve and create new access points while promoting and preserving biodiversity.
​
In the initial phase, improvements are planned for the Pond, Orchard, and Woodland at the rear of the original Nevill Hall building.
​
Further improvements are also being planned, including the restoration of the Sensory Garden.

The Gavenny Project
The "MCC Gavenny project" is a community and environmental initiative by Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) focused on the River Gavenny in Abergavenny.
​
Its main goals are to restore and improve the river for biodiversity, to support climate change adaptation, and enhance community well-being through activities like habitat restoration and litter picks.
​
The project was relaunched in late 2024 with a community litter pick event.
