Providing free activities and social opportunities for young people, the popular ‘Under the Bridge’ sessions in Milford Haven are here again for the summer holidays.

Under the Bridge is a long-standing, joint initiative by Milford Youth Matters and the Port of Milford Haven to provide safe, constructive activity and entertainment for young people while helping to tackle antisocial behaviour around Milford Waterfront.

Under the Bridge runs every Tuesday and Friday evening between 6-8pm until Friday, August 29. It takes place in the area beneath the Hakin Bridge at Milford Waterfront.

Open to everyone between the ages of 11-17, there will be a wide range of activities including sport, wellbeing, creative sessions, volunteering opportunities, games, plus a safe space to socialise. Refreshments will be provided, and the sessions are free to join.

Last year, over 220 young people engaged in Under the Bridge activities over the holidays, and the initiative won the Wales Outstanding Work in Community Safety Award from StreetGames for its impact and success.

Port of Milford Haven Stakeholder Engagement Executive Emily Jones said: “The number of children and young adults taking part in Under the Bridge is growing year on year, with hundreds benefitting from last summer’s activities.

“The Port of Milford Haven works in partnership with Milford Youth Matters to help provide a safe and enjoyable waterway for everyone, and to create opportunities that support a vibrant and prosperous community in Pembrokeshire.

“The amazing work done by Milford Youth Matters has been supported by the Port for almost a decade, and we can really see and feel the difference being made by this charity at Milford Waterfront. We encourage all young people to come down and take part in these fun sessions!”

All young people are invited to attend these free sessions. No booking is required.
