Gaming society secures grant to expand and help ‘upskill’ young unemployed adults
A Caerphilly-based gaming club has been given a £20,000 grant – part of which will go towards helping upskill unemployed young adults.
Caerphilly Table-Top Gamers Society (CTG), has welcomed hundreds of children and adults to its gaming hubs across Caerphilly County Borough over the years.
Bargoed gaming group aims to help children with their maths and communication skills
A new gaming group is starting up in Bargoed library to help children improve their maths and communication skills.
Caerphilly Table-Top and Gamers Society is bringing their science, technology, engineering and mathematical (STEM) based gaming sessions to Bargoed library for most of 2023 thanks to funding from Bargoed Town Council.
The gaming club helping to make maths fun
On the last Saturday in January, Bargoed Library was transformed. It looked like it had been hired out for a big children’s party with every table in the large open space occupied by children of all ages.
