Youth Access
Six young ladies from the Youth Access programme run by Caerphilly County Borough Council went to visit the costume museum in Bath and the seventeenth century manor at Llancaiach Fawr. As they looked and listened, they grew more and more disgusted with many aspects of life as it used to be for women. "Imagine being in the scold’s bridle." "Ugh, pigs grease for lip-stick!" And they turned their disgust into action. They wrote scripts, took photos, recorded their voiceovers and edited their material into films which expressed, in their own inimitable way, their gratitude for being alive now, not then.
Youth Access is an education project which offers a chance for young people (currently Year 11) who do not "fit in" to mainstream school.
