Summer fun thanks to Communities First
Youngsters in Pantyffynnon have been doing everything from cookery to kickboxing this summer – thanks to Communities First.
Now residents are being invited to a meeting to help decide how the Communities First programme will go forward in Pantyffynnon.
Following a variety of summer programmes run by Communities First over the years, and partnership working with the likes of Carmarthenshire Youth and Children’s Association and Carmarthenshire’s Play Team, children in Pantyffynnon have been having a blast this year.
Communities First development worker Emma Martin-Jewell said: “We have been fortunate to link into the very popular Fit 4 Fun Big Lottery project which is managed by the Carmarthenshire Youth and Children’s Association.
“As a result of working in partnership we have been able to provide cookery workshops, circus skills, dance, sports and kickboxing. The Carmarthenshire Play team have also spent the day developing children’s skills through building dens, and playing games. Building skills like these are invaluable, and essential to children’s development.”
Communities First is the Welsh Government’s flagship programme to improve the living conditions and prospects of people in the most disadvantaged communities across Wales.
Projects like these help towards achieving success in the Communities First Programme through addressing the Child Poverty agenda, giving children the opportunity to play in a safe environment.
If you would like to find out more about Communities First and how you can help shape the future of the programme for Pantyffynnon, residents are welcome to attend an evening in the Ammanford Evangelical Church on August 23 at 5.30pm. To find out more, contact Emma on 01269 596821
