Historical Site Visit
We're excited to announce our upcoming visit to the historic Caernarfon Castle on 9 August 2025, generously funded by the Community Fund. This trip offers a valuable opportunity for our youth group to explore one of Wales’ most iconic landmarks and connect with its rich history. Beyond its medieval grandeur, the visit aims to deepen their understanding of Welsh heritage and culture, inspiring pride and curiosity. By experiencing the vibrancy of Wales first hand, we hope to foster a stronger sense of identity, belonging, and appreciation for the cultural roots that shape our communities.
