Our history
For almost 100 years our Organisation has supported young people resident in some of the most disadvantaged communities throughout Wales. The Organisation's roots are traced back to the coalfields of the South Wales mining valleys.
1960
The organisation changes its name to The Boys’ Clubs of Wales.
1962
In July the St Athan’s Boys’ Village reopened by HRH Queen Elizabeth.
