a cafe called Carro Lounge
Carro Lounge in Cwmbran

A new community support group has started meeting at the Carro Lounge in Cwmbran town centre, offering residents a place to make friends, get advice and reduce social isolation.

Friend Zone Support runs two weekly drop‑in sessions – Mondays from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and Wednesdays from 4pm to 6pm – using the area by the bar inside the venue. The group is open to anyone who wants company, support or a safe space to talk.

The sessions are led by Amelia Brooks who said the aim is to create a welcoming environment where people can connect at their own pace.

The group is also planning trips and activities for members throughout the year.

Anyone interested in joining can contact Amelia on 07369 269907 or email [email protected]
