The Tenby Project CIC aims to encourage community involvement and personal development for its members. All are welcome, especially those who have learning difficulties.

After the coffee morning, members go on to share lunch and then in the afternoon they participate in activities, sports, craft workshops, enjoy a talk or story from a visiting speaker.

Lauren looks afters The Tenby Project Facebook page . She told the Observer that “being part of these community projects is a great opportunity to give back to our community of adults who have additional needs; it gives them a safe space to come and socialise and enjoy different projects.

It’s a great project to be part of,” she added.
