Llwynhendy's local Neighbourhood Policing Team has sponsored Rob Phibben and Michael Charles to compete in the Special Olympics of Great Britain (http://www.sogb.org.uk/), a programme of sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with learning disabilities.

PC Jane Macdonald and Scarlets player Lou Reed met with Rob and Charles during Llwynhendy Youth Group's Wednesday Club yesterday, at Trallwm Hall, Llwynhendy. Rob will be participating in kayaking and Michael will be skiing in the Special Olympics.

The sponsorship money was raised from the Blue Light Discos that the Neighbourhood Policing Team has held at Trallwm Hall in Llwynhendy. Money has also been given to Llwynhendy Youth Group.
