Residents of Pantyffynnon, Ammanford, are being invited to celebrate International Women’s Day with a host of events planned by the local Communities First Team.
Pantyffynnon Communities First, a Welsh Assembly-funded initiative run locally by Carmarthenshire County Council, has organised a day packed full of free activities at Ammanford Pensioners Hall on Thursday, March 11, between 10.30am and 3pm.
As well as pampering sessions throughout the day, special workshops have been arranged in jewellery making, between 11am and 1pm, and flower arranging, between 2pm and 3pm.
Refreshments are also being provided.
International Women’s Day is celebrated across the world, and commemorates the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.
Emma Martin-Jewell, Communities First development officer, said: “We have planned a full day of events which will give local people a chance to try something different. The event is free, and is open to all.”
Communities First aims at regenerating deprived communities by improving living conditions and prospects for people.
In Carmarthenshire, the local authority runs four out of the six Communities First organisations, and its teams host many local events and educational activities every year, along with specific regeneration programmes.
Regeneration Executive Board Member Cllr Clive Scourfield said: “The Communities First team performs a vital role in the area and I am delighted that the team is finding new ways of bringing the community together, such as this wonderful event to celebrate International Women’s Day.”
