The company opens its doors to all who are concerned about aspects of Cardigan and the surrounding area’s economy and physical or social environment, offering local people a non-political route of active involvement in addressing the needs of the community. Over the years hundreds of individuals and many voluntary groups have become engaged in the activities of the company.
