According to Wales Online, The Training Ground (TTG) – one of the Youth Led Grant’s beneficiaries – is creating a stir in the local coffee scene in Grangetown. A youth-led café that ‘outshines the offerings of the global chains.’
TTG’s application set out how they planned to use the Youth-led Grant to provide opportunities to their volunteers to develop the TTG project, using coffee as a medium to create opportunities for local youth. TTG offers comprehensive training for young people in the community who otherwise have more difficulty accessing employment, focusing on their volunteers – they told us ‘Every volunteer comes with a talent they can offer their community, to create a better place to live, work and socialise in.’
