More work for Amman and Gwendraeth Youth Team

The Amman and Gwendraeth Youth Team are in the process of developing further detached work in the Penygroes, Crosshands, Llannon, Capel Hendre and Llandybie areas. Youth officers will be visiting the villages in the new detached vehicle where a range of information will be accessible.
Special thanks goes to Llannon Community Council, Hendy Community Council and Cwmmaman Town Council for supporting the initiative.
The aim of the work is to make contact with young people on the street and to explore what activities they would like to have in their villages.
Senior Youth Worker for the Amman and Gwendraeth areas, Rhys Jones said: “Detached youth workers contact young people on their territory and negotiate any further contact or learning and development agenda.
“Our goal is to reduce the number of young people on the street and engage them in a range of positive and fun activities."
The detached work in the villages has been supported by their Community and Town Councils.
The Community Safety Partnership will be funding other detached work in the villages listed.
The Police, who often accompany the Youth Service staff on various schemes, will also support the detached project.
The youth team is in discussions with other Community Councils to develop the detached project in other villages in the Amman and Gwendraeth areas.
