There are a few more places available on this course that takes place next Monday and the Monday after at the Bridgend Centre. Run by local youth charity Just Drop In, it is for people who work with, live with or support young people aged 11-18.

It is a great course for the adults in a young person’s life to have the skills and confidence to step in, offer first aid and guide them towards the support they need. It also gives these adults the information and skills to look after their own mental health.

The course aims to give people the tools to open up these conversations, we can empower them to create mentally healthy, supportive environments in their families, schools, youth groups and communities.

Details on the poster on how to sign up. Places are free of charge.

Those lovely people at the Co-op have accepted the Bridgend Centre onto their ‘Warm Spaces’ programme. This means that every donation made to our Crowdfunding page will be matched by the Co-op. So if you donate, the amount will be doubled!

All money will go towards heating our drop-in kitchen cafe and activity rooms, which provide great places for people to come to, meet friends and have fun.

So if you can spare a donation, big or small, please go to:

It really will make double the difference!

We are thrilled with our shiny, new door at the side of our building which is now the main entrance to our Centre. It is an automatic door so hopefully it will make the entrance safer for our visitors and the building warmer over the coming winter months.

Huge thanks to our funders the Russell Trust and the Green Hall Foundation for making this possible.
