After the hard work at the pumpkin patch success we have now started to remove the pumpkins because the season of Halloween is over but we have still left the scarecrows there. Now we are moving onto additional projects such as the green house that we have set up in the lands of the pumpkin patch and other projects that would advantage the community. To find out what we have planning go onto the holiday activities/event s page to find out more. such as the fairy garden and here is an video to show you all about it.

One of the main aspects of the Halloween scene that we have set up is an scarecrow but we are putting this aspect out to community so if you want to be apart of the best scarecrow contest please contact info@youthfactor.org or nathan@youthfactor.org for more information on where they will be going and how to get them to us. The scarecrows will be judged on 31s of October

We have set up an little area in nixonville that we have been clearing out so that people could come and take photos of the area. We are asking the residences of Merthyr vale and Aberfan to create the best scarecrow which will be judged so contact either nathan@youthfactor.org or info@youthfactor.or g I hope everyone gets involved. I hope everyone takes the time in the week to look at the work that we have done to create this for everyone in the area.

https://www.welshcountry.co.uk/young-people-plant-for-the-future-while-remembering-the-past-in-aberfan/ this is an article talking about the work that we are doing in the area with our fruit factor project but also how we remember all of those that we have lost during the Aberfan disaster.

on the 21 of October 1966 many young lives were taken from Pantglas school but we still remember them so this year on the 54 anniversary we still remember those that we have lost with some of our members attending and laying wreaths to remember those we have lost but we have not forgotten them they shall stay with us in our hears and minds and if we still remember them they will never be gone. We found young people & new members of our community know of our story and our sadness but they don’t know the full history. Our TEAM TOUTH FACTOR believe we are the generation who will need to ensure the lives lost that dreadful day are never forgotten. This year ( 54th anniversary ) Lloyd Davies our Youth Chair, laid a Wreath at the annual 9.15 service as a statement the children of the future will never forget the children of the past. In 2020 the year of lockdowns and pandemics. We are marking their memory by planting a community orchard launched with 144 Tree. we also want to thank Sian's Flowers for creating an amazing wreath for us visit her at https://www.siansflowers.co.uk/

this is our members at the start of the maintenance that we are conducting at st johns ambulance hall and at the church yard in nixonville and another post will be up later in the week to show our progress with all of the work that we have been doing.
