Development Focus
Monday 8th August 2016Development Worker, Gareth Hillier shares on the launch of a new group in South Wales:
1st Tonteg launched in October 2015 with the Junior section age group, giving an opportunity to work with two local Churches to provide for local children. In a very short time the group has grown and now sees a regular attendance of 20 children. None of the children involved have any previous BB involvement and absolutely love being part of it.
Since launching, the Company has been a blessing to the local community and just before Christmas, visited a local nursing home to sing carols and bring Christmas cheer. It is now busy planning other ways to help out in the community. The Company also went on an adventure day to a local centre where the children took part in climbing, high ropes and archery. This was a great day and definitely a highlight of the year for the children and leaders, especially as many of the children conquered fears and challenged themselves to go further than they thought they could.
It has been so exciting to see the children learn new skills, make friends, learn about the Bible and lots more. This could not be possible without the fantastic team of leaders who give so much to making 1st Tonteg something the children love being part of. With the success of Junior Section, there well may be additional sections added in the future.
