Autumn 2020 Volunteers from the Rotary Passport Scheme recently transported seven young people from The Game Change Project base, just outside Caersws to the Red Kite Cafe at Clywedog, Llanidloes.
After working hard to clear an overgrown area outside Caffi Clywedog the young volunteers were treated to a hearty lunch, followed by an outdoor landscape art workshop with a local artist. The day was hosted by an organisation called Radiate Arts who specialise is bringing art to those who would not normally give it a go. Members of Passport Rotary Powys have also been sharing their skills and knowledge with young people at The Game Change project by acting as mentors.
