St Asaph Youth Club has launched an initiative inviting prominent community figures for 'Tea and Chat' sessions.

This new plan encourages guests to share their roles within the community and engage with young club members over refreshments.

So far, the Mayor of St Asaph, Councillor Colin Hardie, and Sian Alwena Jones, Denbighshire County Council education engagement and participation lead officer, have been among the first to accept invitations.

Councillor Hardie discussed city-related issues with the youths and enjoyed the evening's talks so much that he said that he would return.

Other community figures such as a bishop, firefighter, and policeman are also expected to join.

St Asaph's youth club, operational for more than 15 years, is now based at St Asaph Library.

The club, which is open to all aged 11 to 25 years, runs on Monday evenings from 6 to 8pm during school terms and is managed by Denbighshire County Council Youth Service.

There are no membership fees; interested individuals are simply required to fill out an information form on their first visit for parental contact purposes.

The club offers a range of activities from X-Box games, a dance mat with video games, arts and crafts, cooking, and music during the colder months.

Tudur Parry, the new community youth worker for St Asaph and Prestatyn, is also seeking feedback from local youths to share their opinions and needs with the city council.
