SMART Carmarthen youngsters praised
Young people on the Carmarthen SMART Project have been praised for their determination to succeed.
A special event to recognise the young people’s efforts was held at the Gwenllian Court Hotel on Wednesday July 14.
The group of 14-16 year olds were presented with certificates and commended for their efforts during the past year.
Carmarthen SMART is run by Carmarthenshire Youth Service, with the aim of offering a wide range of qualifications and lifelong experiences to help re-engage young people 14-16 years who have been excluded from school or society.
Emily Evans, Carmarthen SMART Coordinator said:“This has been a really successful year for all involved in Carmarthen SMART. The young people excelled all expectations and will be following various courses at college Sir Gar next term.
“When the young people come to us they have many barriers to overcome and when they leave they leave the year long project they are ready to face a new chapter in their lives.
“Special thanks must go to the Gwenllian Court Hotel for allowing us to deliver a number of projects at the venue, to the young people’s parents, schools and of course the young people for making our jobs so rewarding.”
Student of the year Martin Harris from Carmarthen added:“I’ve learnt so much since being at Carmarthen SMART, I really didn’t know I was capable of so many things.
“The staff are very patient with us and put you on the right track. I’m looking forward to going to college in September and getting more qualifications.”
