Background
Valley Kids is a charity working with disadvantaged children and families in the valleys of South Wales. For the last 2 years, Valley Kids have leased Little Bryn Gwyn, a cottage by the sea where the children and young people they work with can experience adventure, responsibility, independence and fun.
How we helped
An opportunity arose to purchase Little Bryn Gwyn. A loan of £215,000 has assisted with the purchase of the property. Ownership of the cottage will enable Valley Kids to grow and develop the Centre to benefit many more children and young people from the Valleys.
“At times the future seemed uncertain, but with the amazing generosity of local individuals and businesses, corporate donations, the invaluable pro bono legal advice of Hugh James Solicitors, and the large scale support of the Charity Bank and the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation filling in the final pieces of the Jigsaw, Valleys Kids can now call Little Bryn Gwyn its very own.” Valleys Kids Newsletter
