3rd  to the 10th  April 2019

The Community Hub in Penparcau has had a successful couple of weeks hosting many activities from organisations locally. The Red Nose Day disco held in the hub by the Penparcau Youth in aid of Comic Relief was a great triumph, great fun was had by all and £70 was raised for a fantastic cause. Some members of the Penparcau Youth enjoyed an educational and fun trip to the Big Bang Science
Fair in Birmingham. The curry and quiz night was also great success with multiple teams competing, all proceeds will go towards further youth projects and events.
