Fernhill TRA – Rhondda Cynon Taff
Description : This project is similar to the Linc Cymru project (above) in that it is attempting to increase activity for the young people within the community and build bridges between the younger and older people on the estate. There is an element of mutual mistrust between these two communities, built on nothing more than stereotyping and a lack of effective communication between the groups.

Penrhys Project
Start Date : 2008-09-22
Description : The tenants group is badly in need of new faces and ideas, especially from the youth of the estate. The community has lost all of its youth facilities including the community centre and the play area although Communities First through various initiatives do what they can to support the youth in the absence of these

Parents of young children on the estate are at a disadvantage since the play area is no longer there. The community are determined to do whatever they can to ensure that youth provision is improved on the estate. They know it will not be easy but they see this project as a way of bringing together all service providers in the area to work in partnership with the local community.
