CYP WALES on the BBC iPlayer (until 22 March 2011)
There was a fantastic documentary "Play the Game" broadcast last night on BBC 2 Wales. It highlighted the excellent work the organisation is undertaking in many areas of Wales. The film looks at the history of the Boys Clubs of Wales, the important role they play in the community and what they meant to some of our famous personalities such as Max Boyce, Lynn 'The Leap' Davies and boxing star Nathan Cleverly.
The "Play the Game" documentary is now available on the BBC iPlayer ;

2011- Fancy A Challenge – LENGTHS FOR LIFE
Would you like to undertake a new Challenge in 2011?
Would you like to raise money for a good cause?
YES-YES-YES-YES
Cardiff and the Vale NHS Trust are trying to raise vital funds for the New Breast Centre at Llandough Hospital. They want to provide a world class service for the people of Cardiff and the Vale who have breast cancer but in order to do this they need to raise £1 million.
Clubs for Young People Wales has agreed to help
In January and February people of all ages and all abilities are being asked to take part in the LENGTHS FOR LIFE Challenge where people swim as many lengths or widths of a swimming pool as they can in one hour.
People can take part at any pool at any time that suits them during the months of January and February. We want people to raise as much sponsorship money as possible so that we can help equip the new centre with brand new state of the art equipment This would be a fantastic event for young people to get involved with as it promotes a healthy lifestyle but also raises vital funds for a centre that will help 1 in 3 people.
LENGTHS FOR LIFE is a high profile event supported by Cardiff Council, The Vale of Glamorgan Council, The South Wales Echo, Real Radio and a number of other different media groups. Not only does the event promote a healthy lifestyle and raise vital funds, it's a fun way to get fit at the start of the New Year.
The Real Radio website www.lengthsforlife.com can give you all the information you need about the charity, you can also download more sponsorship forms which can be photocopied and a voucher that will entitle young people and their families to a free swim at participating pools ( this is only valid until 31 of January)
Take the plunge and support this event so we can help give the people the treatment and support they deserve.

WINNING START FOR UNDER 16'S
The Boys Clubs of Wales Under 16's side made a winning start to their season with a win away at Bridgewater against Somerset. In a tough encounter the team "gelled" well despite a few early setbacks. Somerset made the better start going ahead 10-3 early on in poor conditions. It was the first time that the Boys Clubs of Wales had played together and encouraging signs were seen in the first half though they trailed 17-10 at half time. In the second half the away side produced some fantastic rugby with two tries from Ross Cooper the number 8 from Kenfig Hill. As the conditions got better so did the Boys Club under 16 side. With good play between half backs Evan Price and Josh Tatchel the away side were looking good until around 8 minutes from time when the spirited Somerset side were looking for the winning score. They were camped in the Boys clubs 22 for the remaining time and were grateful for the fantastic scrummaging from Gavin Wood, Tom Evans and Geraint Lawrence in the front row. It was a huge relief when the Boys clubs were awarded a penalty and the last act was for the ball to be kicked out to touch and for the final whistle to be heard. Final score Somerset 24 Boys Clubs of Wales 27. ________________________________________________________________________
Life-changing trip to Nepal
A VOLUNTEER is off to Nepal for a 10-week charity trip.
Nantymoel Boys’ and Girls’ Club youth worker Simon Baker, 20, has been selected to fly out to Asia with Christian Aid on October 15.
He was put forward by the Clubs for Young People Wales and has already been to Germany on a 12-day youth worker exchange.
“I won’t meet the people I’m going out there with until I arrive at Heathrow Airport,” he said.
“It’s a government funded project for Christian Aid. I will be a teaching assistant in the mornings and a builder in the afternoons.
“Then it could be anything from entertainment to sports in the evenings, six days a week. It will be a proper life changing trip.”
Mr Baker, of Heol y Fedwen, Nantymoel, said he has always had a passion for helping people.
“I hope to do more trips in the future but next after Nepal will be a year-long youth work project around Wales,” he said.
“My family are proud of me and I can certainly see myself doing more youth work and volunteering in the future.”
Clubs for Young People Wales training officer Grant Poiner said: “Simon will be working in Nepal for 10 weeks as part of the Platform 2 project.
“Platform 2 is a global volunteering scheme for 18 to 25-year-olds who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to visit a developing country and get involved with global issues of justice and poverty.
“It is funded by the Department for International Development and run by Christian Aid and not-for-profit work and travel experts BUNAC.”

Cerith Rhys Jones, a 2009 Champion, said: “The Climate Change Champions for Wales programme is a fantastic way to make a real difference to climate change in Wales. I’ve spoken to important politicians and business people this year, but I’ve also seen what’s happening where I live. This role opens so many doors! It’s a hugely enjoyable year, and I’d encourage any young person interested in climate change to apply.”

After a short mid week session at Bettws BGC, explaining the finer details of how to hold, use, tie and prepare fishing tackle for sea fishing a practical session was organised to try out the new skills that they had learned!
The day was set for Saturday and a favourite mark being the Barrage at the Marina below Penarth. The reason we favour this venue is that it is safe to park it has public toilets and a small café that opens through the warmer months which offers a great back drop to some of the City's best fishing with Bass, Codling, Whiting and Pout plus various other species being caught through the 12 months of the year.
The age of the young people ranged from 12 to 22 and most never having the chance to fish before this was to be an exciting day that they will not forget in a hurry!If you would like to get involved and get fishing please please contact Cerys on 029 2057 5705

We are delighted to say that CYP UK have been short-listed to be the Royal Mail's official charity.
180,000 posties and other Royal Mail staff across the UK have been asked to vote for their choice - us, Barnardo's or the Prince's Trust.
It's a big challenge, but winning this vote would deliver major financial and voluntary benefits to every club and project in our network for the next 4 years. You, your friends and families can help.
We have 400,000 young people in our network supported by 30,000 volunteers across over 3,500 clubs and projects. If everyone puts up a flier in their window (see below) and gives one to their postie in the next 10 days then we can win.

On Saturday the 20th October Penysarn Youth Club held a fishing event in Anglesey with the help of Jim Salisbury and Gordon Hayes. 10 young people from Penysarn Youth Club took part and, according to Jim Salisbury, the event was ‘very successful and enjoyable’. Jim also added that a boy caught three carp with one weighing in between 1lb and 3lb. This event took place with the idea of organising a major angling event in April 2008, which will involve 50 young people in all. To prepare for that event Nick Massey, Anglesey Federation of Anglers, will be organising one lesson per month, each being a one hour session, from January to April. Jim Salisbury would like to thank Ken Parry of the Environment Agency, Nick Massey, Penysarn Youth Club as well as the instructors who helped make the event such an enjoyable day out.
