Evening Children and Youth Provision
   



   
  Local residents have been trained as Youth/Play Workers to deliver a play and youth evening provision during school term time.

We also support the inclusion of community volunteers. So if you have an hour or so to spare, please contact Debra on 01443 755687.

Our Thursday Junior Session regularly attracts over 60 young people.

We also run evening youth drop-in sessions for seniors on a Tuesday and Wednesday at Maerdy Football Pavillion. Young people are supported to plan and evaluate sessions and activities. Facilities include running a youth cafe, pool, computers, PS2, board games, creative crafts and a chill out area.

This project is run in partnership with Rhondda Cynon Taff Youth Service and RCT Youth Prevention Team.
   
 

Aims & Targets:

  • Three sessions per week.
  • As part of our Healthy Eating Project, we charge 50 pence entry fee for which each child or young person will receive a token which allows them to have FREE fruit, yoghurt, toast and a sugar free drink.
  • We also limit the foods we sell to include only sugar free drinks, chocolate and muesli bars. No sugary sweets are sold.
  • NB. We follow robust Child Protection Policy and procedures during the planning and delivery of our children and youth activities.
Project Update:

  • We run two evening youth drop-in sessions at Maerdy Football Pavillion from 6.00pm-9.00pm
  • Senior session (11+) - Tuesday
  • Senior session (15+) - Wednesday
  • We also run one Junior Session 6.30pm-8.25pm at Ferndale Community School every Thursday. Activities take place in the Upper Hall and Gym and include soft ball sports, dodgeball, creative arts and crafts, dance, team games, healthy eating activities such as making fruit smoothies, fruit cups, fruit kebabs and regular food taster evenings.
  • We also have themed evenings on St. Davids Day, Halloween and Christmas for example.
