Bridgend Community Day – Powered by Young Voices

The Commissioner spent time in Bridgend last week as part of her In Your Community Days, meeting with young people to hear first-hand about the issues and opportunities shaping local communities.

During the visit, the Commissioner met with Year 8 pupils at Bryntirion Comprehensive School to learn why they selected South Wales Police Youth Trust as their chosen charity for the year. Pupils enthusiastically shared their ideas to raise both funds and awareness over the coming months, clearly demonstrating their passion and commitment to supporting positive outcomes for young people across South Wales.

The Commissioner also visited Heronsbridge School, where she met pupils who previously contributed to the development of her Children and Young People Plan. By sharing their experiences, ideas, and feedback, these pupils played a vital role in shaping the priorities within the plan. The Commissioner took the opportunity to personally thank them for their meaningful and impactful contributions.
