🕯️ Aberfan – 60 Years On. We Remember.

Today, our Youth Ambassadors join people across Wales in remembering the 144 lives lost in the Aberfan disaster on 21st October 1966, including 116 children.

Sixty years ago, children just like us went to school, expecting an ordinary day. Tragically, 116 of them never came home.

As young people, we recognise how important it is to remember the children of Aberfan, whose lives, dreams and futures were taken far too soon.

Although we were not there, their story is part of our Welsh history, and it is our responsibility as the next generation to ensure it is never forgotten.

Today, we remember the children, their teachers, the families and the community whose lives changed forever.

We may be a new generation, but we will never forget those who came before us.

🕯️ Cofio Aberfan. Always remembered. Never forgotten.

With love and remembrance, from our Youth Ambassadors. 🖤

I am really pleased to be supporting Blaenavon’s World Heritage Youth Ambassadors to develop a project focused on landscape crime.

The World Heritage Youth Ambassadors is a unique group that uses Blaenavon’s World Heritage Site as a catalyst for projects designed to improve the lives of local young people by building their skills, widening their horizons and fostering a real sense of belonging. It gives young people the opportunity to take part in a wide range of exciting projects, visit historic locations across the UK and engage with their local history and natural environment.

The latest project will see young people explore the impact of common landscape crimes in the area, such as illegal off-road biking and fly-tipping, and plan information campaigns to help protect their environment. These are problems in the Blaenavon World Heritage Site and I look forward to seeing the results of this project.
