What are the Eastmoors Stars?

The STARS Youth group are a committee of young people from Splott Tremorfa, Adamsdown and Roath aged between 13 and 25 years old who represent the young people of these communities.
 
We are constituted with their own bank account which allows them to apply for a range of grants that help improve the provisions and activities as well as adding vital resources to the local youth clubs such as hair and beauty materials, reality babies, music equipment and pool tables.

We are currently creating our own newspaper for our youth clubs to let the local community and other young people know what activities are are involved in. We are putting all our articles, videos and pictures on this blog so we can reach a wider audience.

Tremorfa Youth Club by Chealsa Copp and Alisha Bellsymthe

Tremorfa Youth Club

Tremorfa youth club is the local youth club for the Tremorfa area. The youth club is a good way to get teens of the streets, its open  on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 7:45-9:45pm and the age range is 13-25 year olds. At the moment there is not much equipment, we would like to have more activities to do, and more equipment in the youth club. 

 

The youth club gets a lot of people off the streets at the moment and we know if we can get more money then we would get a lot more young people coming in. It is a friendly place to be and everyone is welcome we have a different range of ages that currently go.

It’s a bit hard to put nice stuff in our youth club because there is a play centre in there in the day and the youngest in there in the day is 5 years of age and they might destroy our property. 

We do a lot of activities in the youth club including D of E, baby course, aqua fit, teen fit, Christmas cards, wood burning, arts and crafts and loads of others. Chelsea Copp said "I love going on residential’s its a lot of fun I wish I could go every weekend”. Duke of Edinburgh is a popular activity at Tremorfa, 13 young people completed D of E this year Alisha Bellsmythe said "I completed my D of E it was the best thing I ever done”. 

I regularly go to Tremorfa youth club, I find it amazing that we have now got a youth club in our area it keeps me and my friends off the streets and from getting into trouble. It keeps me busy by doing all different activities. The centre is clean and tidy, the young people are easy to talk to. All the youth workers are trust worthy and they are always there if you need them or if you need to talk to.
