Penyrenglyn Project have been working with B.T.C.V Job club to give practical experience to job club members using the forest project to develope work skills.

So far we have built a fire pit for our young people to use during clubs, cleared watercourses and developed habitats for local wildlife.

Our future projects will include cutting new trails through the woodland to increase accessibility for the local community and young people.

This Project has been made possible with the support of:-

Forestry commission Wales

B.T.C.V (British trust of conservation volunteers)

Keep Wales Tidy and the Tidy Towns Team

Countryside council for Wales

Six young people from our youth club recently went sailing in Plymouth. They spent six days aboard the Moosk, a one hundred year old boat, learning everything from tying knots to putting up the main sails. Due to the weather we spent alot of time sailing on he river but the experience was amazing none the less.

Penyrenglyn projects half term week was filled with outdoor environmental projects

Including a den building day for afterschools club with the support of some youth club members and the playworkers they built some amazing dens and had a great day in Penyrenglyn wood.

Once again the kids at Penyrenglyn come up trumps, on the first day of the Penyrenglyn environmental project they cleaned up the lane behind the Penyrenglyn Project and some of the area surrounding the project and some wasteground in the community where there has been some fly tipping. Youth members and staff from Penyrenglyn put on they’re gloves and got stuck in. In two hours we filled sixteen bags, in all we collected nearly thirty bags of rubbish, which the council then took away for us.

It’s brilliant to see that the young people of Penyrenglyn care about they’re environment and are willing to give up they’re time to benefit everybody living in the area.

The environmental project is working in partnership Keep Wales Tidy and the Countryside Council for Wales.
