The awards celebrate the built environment's role in transforming Welsh communities and the everyday lives of people. Our Laundry project has won the Leisure award for providing locals with the opportunity to enjoy their historic environment with socially useful purposes.
Rhiannon Gamble, general manager of Tredegar House, said: “This project was the result of the hard work of staff, volunteers and members of the public, and we’re extremely proud to have now won an RICS Social Impact Award in Wales. Diolch yn fawr and congratulations to everyone involved!”
RICS Wales head judge, Geraint Evans, added: “Bringing the Laundry Building at Tredegar House back into use is a major feat, considering its almost ruinous prior state. The vast social benefits for the local community at this major historic visitor attraction is the thing that really stands out and provides locals with the opportunity to enjoy their historic environment with socially useful purposes.”
