St Athan: Youth Club at The Gathering Place, St Athan every Thursday
Youth Club at The Gathering Place – Every Thursday!
We're delighted that the Vale Youth Service is running a Youth Pilot Project at The Gathering Place, St Athan.
Every Thursday (term time only) 6:00pm – 8:00pm
We often hear that there isn't enough for teenagers to do locally. This is a fantastic opportunity to change that—but for services like this to continue, they need to be used and supported.
If you have a young person who would benefit from attending, please encourage them to come along, get involved, make new friends, and help show that youth services are valued in our community.
