The area has great environmental potential with links to the coastal footpath and scenic rural footpaths through and around Newborough Warren and Newborough Forest. The area has triple SSI status and is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is steeped in history and legend with links to the Princes of Gwynedd and Llanddwyn Island and the story of Santes Dwynwen.

After lengthy community consultation, concern was expressed by a majority of local people that currently there is nowhere for the young people to meet and no local activities for community residents. The strong demand for a building to provide a wide range of amenities for all ages, sections and groups within the community was taken up by a group of residents of Niwbwrch who are now established as

Criw Niwbwrch Cyf.

‘Criw Niwbwrch Cyf’ is a community owned company that will manage and provide the resources for these amenities.

The company will focus on the restoration of a disused community building (St Thomas’ Mission Church Hall – also known as Eglwys Bach) to provide a meeting place for a variety of activities for all sections of the community.
