Brynaman Community Centre Surf School

Uploaded by Lynsey Harries, Funding Officer, Brynaman Community Centre

Surf School was funded by Children in Need to involve 13+ young people in the area in activities over the summer holidays. Young people from all over Brynaman attended including young people from local groups including ASBO, Mess up the Mess and Valley Teens.

None of the group had been Surfing before and had lots of fun learning new things. I want to say a big thank you to all the young people for taking part, it was a pleasure to work with them and we hope to do something similar next year.

Below are comments from some of the young people that took part:-

Joe – “ Really good experience had a laugh and met new people, would love to go again”.

Tom: “It was amazing, something different and I learned something new.”

Mat – “It was brill and a good experience – wish it was longer.

Aled -“The Bacon Butties were great and the waves were huge! I enjoyed doing something totally new”

Jordan – “really good experience, learned allot, would defiantly like to go again”.

Curly -“It was a life changing experience, it was the first time i’ve left my local area”

Alex – “It’s awesome – would like to go for longer and further away next time.”
