About Garn Goch CIC

GarnGoch.org was created and managed by Garn Goch CIC, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company Limited By Guarantee. 

It was intended to be a not-for-profit company dedicated to the research and appropriate development of Garn Goch to increase our understanding of prehistoric Wales, and to encourage and facilitate tourism, so as to benefit the local community socially and economically.

Objectives

1.    To generate awareness of Garn Goch as a significant prehistoric site based on the proposition that it is The Largest Ancient Stone Monument In Britain, primarily through this dedicated website: garngoch.org.

2.    To generate support from appropriate organisations and the general public for scientific research and archaeological excavations to produce robust evidence about the prehistory of Garn Goch.

3.    To provide visitor-oriented information, services and facilities, primarily through developing Bethlehem as The Gateway To Garn Goch, subject to the active support of residents.

4.    To benefit the local community by providing paid employment, creating an online and on-site market place for locally produced goods, and enhancing social engagement as well as by generating revenues from activities, and donations from visitors, that will be used to benefit the local community generally.

The company was established, and managed, by Bethlehem resident Martin Price. His relevant experience includes an MA Medieval History, extensive tourism management and marketing expertise, and business development consultancy for companies including Channel Four, Ford, Honda, Microsoft, Swatch Group and Virgin Group as well as numerous small, owner-managed businesses.

However, the lack of support has meant that it is no longer purposeful to maintain the CIC, and it is being closed down.
