COVID STORIES: MAESG COMMUNITY RESPONSE

Written By Kenneth Rees

 In Maesgeirchen, Bangor community groups, organisations and individual volunteers worked together quickly to efficiently respond to the Covid-19 crisis.

The response has been a collaboration between MaesNi (the Invest Local group), PMP (the local community organisation) and Penrhyn House (North Wales Recovery Community) – plus dozens of volunteers from the local area.
