About

Cymdeithas Aberaeron Society is a private company limited by guarantee (7641820) and a registered charity (1145491). Its registered address is Y Faenol, Lampeter Rd, Aberaeron, SA46 0ED. It was set up to continue the work of the 2007 Aberaeron Bicentenary community heritage project. The Bicentenary project was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and included the Aberaeron Town Trail and plaques; traditional skills workshops; schools projects; an oral history project; the Aberaeron 2007 Exhibition and an Exhibition of Quilting and Needlework by Aberaeron women. The project was the all-Wales winner for the 2008 Nationwide Community and Heritage Awards. Cymdeithas is run entirely by volunteers and depends on income from membership fees, donations and fund-raising to fund its activities.
