CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE

AND FAMILIES

Your unwanted child and baby clothes needed.

The family support group run by Caia Park Early Years Forum is in desperate need of baby clothes and equipment as well as clothes and shoes for young children. If you have any items that you no longer need; please don't throw them away - recycle them by passing them onto the Family Support group which is based at 10 Gwenfro - the community house on Prince Charles Road. For more information or to make a donation, please contact Jo Dodd on 01978 314587.

 Cats Paw Theatre Productions 

A number of theatre productions have now been carried out across Caia Park by the well established Cats Paw Theatre Production company. Many children and young people via various venues have benefited from these productions. The themes for the productions have ranged from transition between primary and secondary school and drug and alcohol awareness. The actors involve the audience in their performances and are produced in forum theatre style whereby the audience are able to shape the outcome of the storyline.
