We’ve recently received a HLF Grant and a donation from the Gwendoline and Margaret Charity to start a new BGCWales heritage project called ‘Our Founders and the First World War’. The project promises to be full of fun and activity. Step back in time and relive the life of a soldier in the trenches, visit fun and fascinating museums, research the connection between your village and the First World War and much more. This project was shortlisted for Youth Excellence Awards under the category “Promoting Heritage and Cultures in Wales and Beyond”. The judges felt that this project was “innovative and educational with great coordination." They felt this project helped to bring history alive for these young people whilst they developed new skills and knowledge. Although we weren’t successful we’re all extremely pleased to have been shortlisted.

Leading a Heritage Lottery Young Roots Project with the Boys' and Girls' of Wales. The project #CLUBFOCUS will teach the young people about the heritage of their Clubs and their Community in a fun way by using iPads, recording devices and memorabilia.

Researching the history of the organisation and their clubs in South Wales.Recently applied for a Heritage Lottery Young Roots Project Grant. When some people think about history it doesn’t fill them with excitement, but when you throw in iPads and other recording equipment it might change their minds. I would like to hold a couple of training sessions, with professionals from the industry, for at least 10 youth leaders. In these sessions the youth leaders will learn a basic knowledge of how to film off devices like iPads and iPhones, how to edit, interviewing techniques, archiving and how to present the work effectively through social media. They then can help me by visiting the 10 chosen clubs and teaching these skills to the youth of the clubs. Not only will they be learning new and important skills, they will also learn the history of their clubs in a fun and enjoyable way. The clubs are a part of their lives and the clubs history is their history. They should learn to be proud of it and understand its importance to survive within the community.
