History

The WUN were formed as a Valleys-based news service dubbed 'Valleys Underground' in 2019. [3] [4] Following the establishment of a Wrexham Chapter in 2021, Valleys Underground was reformed into the Welsh Underground Network. [5]

Activities

The Welsh Underground Network conducts events such as referral-free foodbanks, 'community clearups', baby-banks, and book clubs. [6]

In November 2021, alleged activists were arrested after scaling the roof of a chemical factory in North Wales. [1] [7] [8]

In September 2022, the Welsh Underground Network released a statement condemning British Imperialism, in the aftermath of the Death of Queen Elizabeth II. [9] [10]

In March 2023, activists from the WUN organized a Pro- Refugee protest against far-right Patriotic Alternative in Llantwit Major. [11] [12]
