One is on April 2 from 10am till 12pm at the north Ely youth centre, Pethybridge Road, where they will be doing some Easter arts and crafts.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are asking for a \u00a32 donation or two time credits per child, and the other event is the Easter egg hunt on April 7 from 11am till 2pm at the Ely and Caerau Hub, Cowbridge Road West, Ely, with a small donation of \u00a33 or three time credits per child.\u201d<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6444\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6444\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/cs_easter2_web1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6444\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/cs_easter2_web1-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Escape-Cardiff group are involved in many positive activities in the community.\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6444\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/cs_easter2_web1-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Escape-Cardiff group are involved in many positive activities in the community.\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> The Escape-Cardiff group are involved in many positive activities in the community.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nTime credits are a form of currency whereby people contribute time in helping their community and get an equal amount of time back in the form of a time credit to be spent on activities such as going to the cinema or theatre.<br \/>\n\u201cMost of the children I work with are from families who don&#8217;t have much, and I don\u2019t have funding at this moment in time,\u201d added Mrs Magee.<br \/>\n\u201cI feel really bad about having to let the kids down again.
