A YOUTH club has opened in Radyr for the first time since 2016, laying on activities for\u00a011 to 16-year-olds from the area, and Morganstown. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities\u00a0range from cooking, crafts, gaming, sports activities, as well as educational programmes. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new service, run in conjunction between Cardiff Youth Service<\/a> and Radyr and Morganstown Community Council,<\/a>\u00a0aims to give youngsters something to do while\u00a0developing their confidence, motivation, problem solving, and teamwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radyr and Morganstown councillor Calum Davies, who campaigned for a return of the club, said: \u201cI am delighted that we are seeing the return of youth services in Radyr and Morganstown after a long absence.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen McCambridge, one of the youth workers running the club, said: \u201c(The council is) opening up provisions where there are\u00a0no provisions or where we had provisions before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr McCambridge, who is from Scotland, has worked in youth support in Cardiff for 24 years. Before that he worked at the Heath Hospital. \u00a0He is motivated by the enthusiasm of the youngsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have such great fun doing what I do as a youth worker, meeting so many amazing people,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
