Assembly Minister tackles issues with Welsh young women
Dr. Brian Gibbons visits young women at YWCA Cwmafan
Dr. Brian Gibbons, Assembly Government Minister for Social Justice and Local Government, visited young women from YWCA Cwmafan on Friday 10th July to discuss issues affecting them in the community.
The Minister met girls and women from YWCA, many of whom were young mums, along with YWCA's Chief Executive, Sarah Payne. They specifically discussed funding and employment opportunities for young women in the area, including apprenticeships in construction.
Helen Williams said: "It was a really interesting opportunity for the young women to meet Dr. Brian Gibbons. They discussed issues that are important to them, such as employment, and there is potential to take this meeting further."
