Bridgend Communities First recently got off to a wild start to their summer programme of activities when the Nearly Wild Show came to Coleg Cymunedol Y Dderwen in Tondu, to show young people an assortment of animals including snakes, lizards, mice, chinchillas, an owl, a bearded dragon called ‘Bert’ and even cockroaches and a tarantula!
The Welsh Government funded Bridgend Communities First’s summer programme is free of charge to anyone living in Communities First post code areas in Bridgend County Borough. There is plenty for you to see and do throughout the summer, whatever your age.
