December 2024
Find out what the HYYM team got up to in December, from a session on marine conservation careers and an eco-Christmas craft event, to celebrating an award winner.
Christmas crafts and farewell
December marked the final few weeks with Nat, the wonderful HYYM Project Support. She led the designing, planning and delivery of an eco-Christmas crafts event at Costigans in Rhyl, where participants spent the afternoon crafting Christmas decorations out of second-hand materials! The team also had the opportunity to speak to local MP Gill German about their work through HYYM and the impact it’s having on the local community.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to Nat for all her hard work and commitment that she gave to the HYYM project.
