YMCA Neath

23/12/2025

A little snapshot of my watercolour workshops this month, it's been a very busy, festive few weeks! 🖌️🎨🎄🍷☕ A real mix of events, including private lessons, a private party, workshops with the fabulous YMCA Neath , a session with The Swansea Centre For Deaf People , a special Christmas Paint and Cake session at Cakey's Creations , a lovely Watercolour and Unwind event at The Mermaid Cafe bar & Restaurant , two days of workshops with young people attending the Tir Morfa Training Centre, a home education session at Port Talbot Library Neath Port Talbot Libraries and an adult session too, plus of course my weekly Friday morning sessions at Neath library, where it all began 😊
Thank you to everyone who has painted with me, booked me and shared in my love of watercolour in a very Christmassy way this month, it really does mean a lot 🙏🏻
Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas and a healthy, happy new year.
I look forward to painting with you all again in 2026!

As the year comes to an end, we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who volunteered, attended a class, donated or simply stopped by for a chat.

We've had the best year and we can't wait to do it all again in 2026.

Every day, kindness happens quietly… you just have to look out for it. ✨

Merry Christmas from all of us at YMCA Neath! ♥️

At Barbie Dolls we work hard to play hard.

Fitness the gift that keeps on giving

I’ve made more mates through this little venture then any stage of my life.

We are all there for the same reason, the support is fantastic and the confidence in these ladies in their training over the last year is nothing short of a Christmas miracle.

They have turned up week after week…stressed, tired and given 100 percent to each session I’ve thrown at them.

May we continue into 2026 (session Tuesday and Sunday…just saying 😉)

We have been incredibly lucky to receive a fantastic donation of toys from Neath Rugby Club, helping us to support families and children who need it most.

Our thanks go to Neath RFC, the players, fans, the Neath Rugby Supporters Club and Morrisons for their kindness and generosity.

We are so grateful to be part of a community that looks out for one another. 🖤
