Since forming a charitable trust CG specifically supports the arts through the provision of a number of live events and young people through its partnership work with ASBOC. That partnership work chiefly consists of open drop in sessions, targeted support in a range of areas such as sexual health, wellbeing, citizenship and more, and the impending opening of a food bank. When the trust has funds in excess of that required to operate these services it acts as a grant making trust bestowing funds on application to charitable bodies on a case by case basis as deemed appropriate by the board of Trustees.
We have recently received £1500 to help get the food parcel scheme up and running from the Burry Charitable Trust, this scheme supplies food to the needy within the community. We cannot thank them enough.
We also work with young people in many other areas and hope to promote the music and arts of the young people at this years Freshfields Saturday August 17th.

Freshfields 2013
The meetings have started to get the ball rolling for this years Freshfields. It will take place on August 17th and there are lots of brilliant artists lined up and lots of performers taking part this year.
Once we have confirmed acts it will be on here. Soon a Paypal button will be added to our site so tickets can be bought through our website.
Freshfields is going to be bigger and better than last years (if that can be possible). We are concentrating a lot on things to do for the young ones so there will be workshops where the little ones can go.
Keep your eyes peeled for the line ups..
Tickets for Freshfields will be on sale soon. There wil be the chance to buy early bird tickets too!
