The short-stay units will be available to adults of all ages to develop their skills and strengths so that they can return to their own homes. The long-stay units will be offered to people who have care requirements but are able to live independently. Care and support will be on site 24 hours a day, there will also be opportunities for the local community to access day activities and surgeries. The homes are due to be finished by August 2021 and will be known as Ty Glas y Dorlan, the Welsh translation for Kingfisher House.

Local schools, including Cwmffrwdoer Primary, Garnteg Primary, Blaenavon Heritage VC Primary and Abersychan Comp will be involved with the service, as will Gwent Brass Band and other local choirs. There will also be a special performance from an Elvis tribute act. This year, Noddfa Church has partnered with Victory Church in Blaenavon to organise the event. The night will raise money for the Daniel Jones Fund at Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent Mind, and a donation link will be provided on the stream on Sunday. Former Pontypool RFC hooker and Wales international Garin Jenkins will say a few words, as will Torfaen MP Nick Thomas-Symonds.
