A SKITTLES course helps young people build skills

A group of 10 young people from diverse backgrounds across Denbighshire took part in a Summer SKITTLES personal development course delivered by Denbighshire Youth Service.

The course was a fun-filled, action-packed adventure, giving the young people the opportunity to develop new skills, gain qualifications and try new experiences.

As part of the course, all 10 young people achieved qualifications in Food Hygiene, First Aid and the ‘Agored Phoenix’ course. The course was delivered in partnership with North Wales Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, St John Ambulance and Working Denbighshire.

The young people took part in a residential stay at Bryn Tysilio in Llangollen, as well as completing a community garden project at the VIBE Station in Rhyl, creating a space that the wider community will be able to enjoy and benefit from.

The course has helped each young person to build their confidence, develop their skills and gain valuable experience to support their future employment or college opportunities.

Young people aged 16 to 25 who are interested in taking part in future courses can contact James Salisbury at james.salisbury@denbighshire.gov.uk.
