A GROUP of young people were welcomed to the Senedd as part of their summer programme of events

Jayne Bryant AM welcomed Newport’s Shaftesbury Youf Gang to the Senedd to show them how decisions are made for young people in Wales.

Following a trip to Parliament last week, the youth group visited the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff Bay.

The trip was organised by Newport West AM Jayne Bryant, who showed the gang around and answered questions about being an Assembly Member. Jayne was made an honorary member of Shaftesbury Youf Gang back in February.

Jayne Bryant said: “It was great to show the group around the Senedd and get to talk to them about representing Newport West. They had some brilliant questions, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some future politicians in the group.

Youf Gang organiser, PCSO Richy Davies said: “It’s been a great summer for the gang with lots of different events, and I’m sure we’d all like to come back in the future.”
