The Hive Guys, a project run by the Vale Youth Service has held a special meal for local community members.
The Youth Service team works with young people across the Vale of Glamorgan to develop transitional skills to support them in their adult lives.
The Hive Guys have previously worked on a number of accredited opportunities, with the main focus of the group being to increase community engagement with residents who have previously used Warm Spaces.
Members of the group designed an entire menu for the evening – which consisted of a prawn cocktail starter, handmade fish cakes and apple pie for dessert, alongside a list of fun activities including napkin folding lessons and a karaoke session.
Through budgeting, cooking, and planning for the evening, the young people developed valuable life skills while also connecting with the Five Ways to Wellbeing — Be Active, Connect, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Give.
Beyond the meal, the project aimed to build intergenerational friendships, improve understanding, and create positive conversations that also support dementia prevention in the community.
