The Flowerpots


During half term our Enterprise Learning By Doing Group, who are learning how to run a business, held their first event. The girls showed the film Peter Pan to an audience of young children in our community, they also supplied popcorn, homemade cakes and other treats. It was good to see a group of young people organising a community event while learning skills that will be of benefit to them in the future. Well done girls, you did a great job!

News

Hi everyone, I hope you are all coping with the cold weather, my budding Snowdrops are telling me Spring is just around the corner!

Two local young lads from Llangatwg School have recently joined our garden workers to gain practical skills. The lads will have the opportunity to learn about the Sarn Helen Garden development and how it has a positive impact within the community. We have been fortunate to be able to work alongside the communities first team who have provided a worker to support the young lads' participation. If anyone reading this is interested in spending time in the garden please call in or give us a ring, we would be pleased to meet you.

As you may have noticed on the website's home page, there is a number of new courses starting soon, starting with work based skills, a course that would be helpful for those of you who are looking for work. I'm sure we all need a push to update our CVs and learn about new ways of searching for the latest job vacancies. In April, there are courses being offered that include something for everyone, give us a ring or email us for more information.
