Pauline Richards joined Valleys Kids in 1979 after working in social services and probation. She saw a major gap in support for young people who didn’t fit into school or statutory services, and Valleys Kids became the place to fill that need. Her early work involved creating safe spaces for vulnerable young people and challenging unfair youth justice practices.
She says Valleys Kids is important because it is community-led, with projects growing from what local people want. Strong partnerships with health visitors, social workers and other agencies were essential to providing real support for families.
Pauline helped expand the work into Penyrenglyn and Rhydyfelin through lottery funding and intensive community engagement. She loved her work, staying until age 75, and remembers especially the children’s theatre productions, which showcased huge community effort and talent. She also recalls individuals like Kevin Roberts, whose personal growth reflected the impact Valleys Kids had on young people.
