Drink advice for Llanelli youngsters
Young people from Felinfoel and Llwynhendy have been learning about why it’s not a good idea to ‘get hammered’.
They attended an Alcohol Awareness Training event in Calsonic Social Club.
The training, funded by the Carmarthenshire Community Safety Partnership, was organised jointly through Felinfoel Communities First and Llwynhendy Communities First.
Felinfoel Communities First community development officer Gaynor Price said: “The training was identified by the local Neighbourhood Police who thought it would be of benefit to the youth of both areas. The training titled ‘getting hammered’ focused on alcohol awareness for the young people, including the effects of combining alcohol and drugs.
“Pupils from Bryngwyn School, youth and residents of both areas were invited to join the training that discussed and demonstrated through DVDs the harmful effect of alcohol. All that attended enjoyed the course and were shocked by some of the stories that were shown.”
Community safety manager Kate Thomas said: “Prevention is definitely better than cure and we need to encourage young people to make the right decisions.
“By raising awareness, we can help them make informed choices and hopefully steer young people away from abusing alcohol in the future."
