Melin Homes supports Newport Gwent Dragons Community Initiative

Melin Homes is delighted to be sponsoring Newport Gwent Dragons community educational programme.

The Second Half project provides a unique opportunity for over 7,000 8 - 11 year olds to participate in an out–of-school learning experience each year at the Dragon’s home ground, Rodney Parade.

Youngsters enjoy a stadium tour, meet and interview Dragon players and experience the impressive ‘Changing Room Experience’ where they watch a motivational video in the players changing room. They also receive a 20-hour curriculum based educational booklet to complete following the visit.

The project aims to build self-esteem and confidence and supports both the Dragon’s and Melin’s commitment to youth initiatives, community generation and lifelong learning.

Peter Crockett, Strategic Director at Melin said: “We are really excited about working with the Dragon’s on this excellent project. It is another example of our commitment to supporting youth sport and education projects in the areas where we have homes.”

Phil James Education Officer at Newport Gwent Dragons coordinates the Second Half project each week, which is renowned throughout the region. He commented:

“We’re delighted to have Melin on board to support our educational initiatives at Rodney Parade. As a community department we are dedicated to providing a sound educational scheme within the community that will benefit the individuals and schools involved.

“The children enjoy the interaction with the players and physical activity while gaining literacy and numeric skills and have produced some excellent work over the six years since its inception.”
