Young carers' truth challenge
Young and old meet and mix
Power of Youth, a young people's group at Platform 51 Cardiff , invited and old people's group, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise, to a coffee and games afternoon. The two groups enjoyed cakes served by the young people and games of cards, chess, draughts and bingo. Councillor Ali from the Grange Town area popped in to lose a game of cards to one of the Power of Youth members. Also attending were people from the local community, older neighbours and relatives of the young people. The atmosphere of the day was fanastic and enjoyable.
Mrs Morgan said: "The young people were delightful, thank you for an enjoyable afternoon."
Sophie, aged 16, a, young carer, said: "I think the day went very well because we got involved and made new friends."
The group will keep in touch with all who attended and work with them in the future.
