Youth Service take over Quay Centre in Carmarthen
Carmarthenshire Council’s Youth Service has taken over the Quay Centre (formerly the Carmarthen Heritage Centre) to be the base for youth work delivery in the north and west of the County.
As well as being a base for Youth Service staff and the Carmarthenshire Youth Council, the centre will offer targeted support for young people who are not in employment, education and training (NEET) or who have particular needs. The Quay Centre will also be the base for water-based activities including canoeing and kayaking.
Securing use of the Quay Centre has meant that the Youth Service has also been able to financially support local charity Dr Mz's in their move from Queen Street to the Clubhouse, the old Carmarthen Athletic Club building.
Chris Davis, Senior Youth Officer for the Taf, Teifi and Tywi area said:
“The opening of two new facilities for 11-25's in the town is really great news and has been possible thanks to the strong partnership between the County Council and Dr Mz.
“The two facilities will compliment each other really well and are very close to each other. We look forward to widening the range of youth support and outdoor activities available for young people in Carmarthen.”
