Updated January 2014 Hedfan – Out of School Hours Learning (8-14 yr olds)

1

The Hedfan team hopes you will find this directory of out of school hours learning useful and informative. Activities and provision change regularly, therefore it is advisable to contact providers before specific journeys are made to attend any activity. The directory specifically focuses on provision available for children between the ages of 8-14, and that is located within the North of Merthyr Tydfil (Gurnos, Galon Uchaf, , Pant and ).

Declaration Information collated and held by Hedfan is intended for general public information, and as such should only be treated as a guide of what provision is available.

Hedfan has used all reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its database, and can confirm it was correct at time of distribution. The data is not inclusive of all activities and provisions on offer. We cannot accept responsibility for any loss which may arise from use of the information provided.

Hedfan does not approve or endorse any activity or service listed within the directories or external websites that we may link to. We do not accept any liability in connection with their services or the information they have provided.

Please note directories are also available for Mid and South Merthyr Tydfil Clusters 2
