Valley Kids - Penyrenglyn Project

Valleys Kids is a charity based in South Wales with a 34-year track record of working with disadvantaged children and families.

Our work is about changing lives for the better. These Valleys now rank in some of the most deprived areas of Europe. Valleys Kids works alongside local people to improve the lives of children and families in these communities, helping people to help themselves.

Valleys Kids strives to understand the needs of those we work with, and to respond imaginatively to them, to promote the healthy development of children, the social inclusion of young people and the empowerment of disadvantaged communities.

Our Vision is a celebration of the achievement of individuals, who through trying different activities and having different experiences, broaden their horizons and achieve their potential. This is done through working across all ages from babies to 100+ offering crucial opportunities for disadvantage children, young people and adults, including Play Work, Youth Work, Residential Experiences, Computer Training, ArtWorks, Outreach Community Support, Family Support, Timebanking and Advocacy.

For over 30 years Valleys Kids has been working to change the lives of thousands of children and young people here in the South Wales Valleys. The sad fact is that there are still thousands more that need the help and support of Valleys Kids.

Valleys Kids ‘grows people and communities’ through the different activities that are on offer across the Valleys Kids centres. What has been apparent is that one size doesn’t fit all, so Valleys Kids changes and adapts its approach dependant on the specific community needs. Offering compelling alternatives to families struggling with Depression, Abuse, Drug and Alcohol Problems, Bereavement, Neglect and Hopelessness. Valleys Kids helps the whole family and the whole community to achieve their potential
