Delivered through a partnership between Milford Youth Matters and the Port of Milford Haven, Under the Bridge provided a welcoming and inclusive space for around 133 young people over the summer holidays in Milford Haven. From recreational activities to opportunities to develop new skills and build confidence, the sessions have offered something for everyone.
The activities once again highlighted the importance of providing accessible opportunities for local young people, helping to create positive experiences, strengthen friendships and support wellbeing.
Dayle Gibby, Milford Youth Matters Co-ordinator, said:
"It has been fantastic to see so many young people making the most of everything Under the Bridge has had to offer this summer. The programme has provided a safe and welcoming environment where young people could have fun, try new things and spend time with friends. Seeing the confidence, enthusiasm and sense of community grow over the holidays has been incredibly rewarding, and we would like to thank everyone who took part and supported the activities."
The programme was made possible through the ongoing partnership between Milford Youth Matters and the Port of Milford Haven, which continues to invest in opportunities that benefit local communities and young people.
Emily Jones, Stakeholder Engagement Executive at the Port of Milford Haven, said:
