Young people learning new skills and trades have been helping Pembrokeshire sports teams with new equipment and a spruce up before the winter.

The group have been taking part in a Trade Skills programme funded by Cam Nesa, a European Funded project working with young people aged 16 – 24 who are not in employment, education or training.

Participants Caleb, Erin, Robbie and Oran have been working hard in the workshop, exploring introductions to various trades to gain skills, knowledge and experience in carpentry, plumbing, brick laying, basic electrics and skimming.

And while learning new skills they have also been gaining qualifications to prepare them for the world of work.

Working closely with Celtic Training in Narberth, the team has learned how to build benches which are being donated to cricket clubs in the county.

Among the beneficiaries so far are Cresselly, Crymych, and Llanrhian Cricket Clubs.

The group has also been busy painting and decorating.

The clubs have thanked the group for their hard work.

The Cam Nesa team said: “We are delighted to be able get out and about in the rural areas of the county to deliver programmes on the road.

“Through these difficult times, it’s great to see that we are covering all areas of the county, working closely with various communities and being able to give back brings a great sense of pride and achievement for the young people engaging on the project.”

Cam Nesa is a £5.7 million project supported by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government, which works with 16-24 year-olds in West Wales by providing them with a range of tailored personal support and work-related opportunities.

The project is led by Pembrokeshire County Council and delivered in Partnership with fellow local authorities.
