News from Tir coed in the Elan Valley

Autumn Update  Its been a busy summer at the Elan Valley for the Tir Coed team. Here's a brief update on whats been happening and how you can get involved.    FREE ACTIVITY SESSIONS We have had 19 community groups come for free activity session, with 3 more booked in for September, ages ranged from 4 year olds to a group in their 70's.  We are happy to tailor the activities to suit all abilities and there is still time to book your groups in for this year or next.   To qualify for one of our free sessions (either a full or half day your choice) you just need to be a community group based in Powys.  Give Anna a call on 01597 811527 to have a chat. WE BUILT A ROUND HOUSE  Trainees from our most recent 12 week course have built a Round House on our activity field, this amazing structure will offer shelter and enable us to continue to offer activity sessions throughout the year.  in addition to this great building 8 of our trainees gained accreditation.  We will be running 5 day courses in October and November, these courses are open to anyone, but priority is given to those who are unemployed or under employed.  Powys Business Awards 2019 We are mega excited to announce that Tir Coed has been selected as a finalist for the 2019 Powys Business Awards, Social Enterprise and Charity Category. Judging took place on a rainy Friday in August, followed by filming on the Monday (luckily the sun shone), we will not know the results until the 4th October and are up against strong competition from the Severn Rivers Trust and Corn Exchange Crickhowell.  This wouldn't have been possible without our amazing supporters and participants over the last couple of years, and we'd like to thank you all for being so amazing. Come work for Tir Coed at the Elan Valley Do you love the outdoors, are you able to teach a range of skill and lead activity sessions for a diverse range of participants??? If so why not consider joining the Tir Coed family, we are looking for 2 part time activity leaders to be based at our home in the Elan Valley.  See advert below or click here for full information or for an informal chat call Anna or Gayle on 01597 811527 Email for more information To keep up to date with the latest news and events from Tir Coed or the Elan Links Project follow our social media channels by clicking on the icons below.  Elan Links is a National Lottery Heritage funded scheme.
