The Chamber is a voluntary, non-political organisation of members, working together for the further development and interests of business in the Porthcawl district through: 1: Discussion of matters brought to the attention of the Chamber by its members. 2: Discussion and negotiation with neighbouring Chambers of Trade. 3: Discussion and negotiation with the local authority through its officers and members. The Chamber’s history relates back to the beginning of the 20th century. Over recent years a working relationship has built up with Porthcawl Town Council, Bridgend County Borough Council and the Welsh Assembly Government.
The Chamber works with Porthcawl Town Council looking at ways of attracting visitors to the town and assisting with Council projects through representation on the council’s Tourism and Events Committee. The Chamber works with the Bridgend County Borough Council with a representative on the Porthcawl Regeneration Forum. Recent Chamber projects include: Promoting Porthcawl on the Radio, Setting up and launching the Porthcawl Loyalty Card, Running Christmas Window Competition, the Christmas Cribs at six sites around Porthcawl. There are members of the chamber that work very hard giving their time And no how free of charge to make the Chamber an organisation we can be proud of and with out these members the Chamber would not exist. The Chamber is an organisation of people and not a business or company. Any member can get involved if they wish, the more that do the better the result.
