What is BYG?
The Byg is a website designed by young people for young people.听
It is a fully interactive website that encourages creativity and direct involvement and provides young people aged 11 to 25 with information about events, news, activities, services and opportunities available for them across Blaenau Gwent. 听
How does it work?
Almost all of the articles you will read on The Byg website were written by a team of young people between the ages of 11 and 25, who also help to run the website.
This team is always looking for new members, so if you like the articles you鈥檝e found on the website and would like to try to write one for yourself, then they鈥檇 like to meet you. The team meet regularly and everyone is welcome to come along and see how things work - no strings attached!
