Penygraig Project is based in the beautifully restored Soar Centre, which celebrated its re-opening following it’s second refurbishment in 2006 with a multi-cultural event featuring musicians, Amampondo from Langa in Cape Town and launched by First Minister Rhodri Morgan. This Community & Family Hub, like all Valleys Kids centres, is a versatile venue which changes according to the event. The team provides Play, Youth and Community Development activities using venues in other areas where appropriate.

In Soar during school day you will find anything from Coffee Morning, Community Bingo, Tai Chi, Positive Parenting to CAB, Counselling sessions and Food Co-op. At 4:00pm all mayhem is let loose as hundreds of under 8’s appear for After-school Club. They play at: art, craft, dressing up, trikes, bikes scooters, water fights, bouncing on the bouncy castle, ball games. Food plays a big part in these sessions. Our staff ensure that there are healthy snacks and all the children have some nourishment. More joyful mayhem follows with the Middle Clubbers, who play in much the same way. Later in the evening, the Youth take over and computer games, darts, loud music, pool and table tennis are options and the bouncy castle is equally popular.
