Arson Rap

Twelve members of the Trefechan Youth Club have successfully taken part in the Arson RAP project, which involves educating young people about fire safety and car crime and then producing a rap on issues affecting their community. The Arson RAP is currently being put onto a CD which can then be used in the future.

Youth Action Camp

Thanks to funding from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, 15 young people from Trefechan attended an Action Camp in Tenby in Pembrokeshire in July 2009.

The young people took part in a variety of activities from global citizenship, healthy living, child poverty, team building, budgeting skills, managing resource and physical activities. All the young people who attended the action camp came away with qualifications (OCN in participation) which can be used in the future and be included within their certificates of achievements.
