This is a chance for these pupils to socialise through the medium of Welsh and we have football, table tennis, badminton, art, dance mats, Nintendo Wii & pool, and we go on trips each term.

GOING GREEN - Treorchy Youth Centre members have been busy planting flower pots for Ystrad Fechan Home for the Elderly in Treorchy. Last summer the youngsters planted geraniums, petunias and marigolds, then in the autumn they planted bulbs of daffodil, crocus and tulip.
This was an enjoyable experience for the Youth Centre members and after the success of pot planting, they are going to start an allotment project. The members hope to be growing their own vegetables and flowers and sharing the produce with the Residential Home, as well as learning a lot of new skills in the process.
Participants in these projects will be gaining a qualification - a record of achievement, Mayor of RCT Award or Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Jennifer Terry, the Senior Youth Worker, has attended Open College Network Gardening courses to get the up to date information on gardening techniques.
Keep up the Good Work, Treorchy Youth Centre!

“ I have been coming to Treorchy Youth Centre for the last five years and I really enjoy it. I have an excellent relationship with the youth workers and supervisors and have met some new friends. I think people who are looking to have a good time and a laugh should come to Treorchy Youth Centre and try the experience, so I recommend coming to this youth centre. I am in the middle of my Duke of Edinburgh Award and I have just completed my record of achievements award. I am on the Youth Committee and also represent the Youth Centre on the Rhondda Youth Forum. I have also completed my netball accreditation certificate. So you can see there are plenty of opportunities to do positive things.” |
Why not come along and enjoy a free first night trial. If we haven’t got what you are looking for we will try and meet your needs. So come along and join Treorchy Youth Centre and meet some new friends and have an excellent time.

The Club also runs under 17 and under 19 teams. All of our teams acquitted themselves well in their respective leagues. As well as celebrating the Club’s football success, the evening raised over £1,000 for club funds. An auction was held for a Football signed by the current Cardiff City squad and a Liverpool F.C. shirt autographed by Ian Rush, also prizes given by local businesses were raffled, our thanks to all who donated. The evening concluded with a disco. Thanks to the management committee, football managers and club volunteers for their commitment over the season and, of course, to our players and club members, without who we wouldn’t have anything to celebrate. As always, the club, which is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, needs additional volunteers. If you could give up a couple of hours per week to help us out, call in at the club, which is located off Dinam Park Avenue, during the evening and ask for Kevin (club leader), or alternatively, during the day ring Dean on 01443 425894 for further information. * * * |
