**The Narberth Youth Band** is intended to provide young people with the opportunity to develop their instrumental skills, play collaboratively, and enhance their personal confidence. At present, we are still in search of a suitable Leader to take on this leadership role. We continue to work closely with Jazz Explorers Cymru to further progress this initiative.
## **Care Homes**
Regrettably, owing to limited manpower resources, we have been unable to advance this idea, which is currently in abeyance.
**The Charity’s website** , www.narberthjazz.wales , was developed in Autumn 2021 with support from the HLF-Datris project by PLANED and one of our Trustees. This comprehensive and regularly updated site serves to publicise our events and news, and also provides an online ticket purchasing facility.
In addition, we maintain an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We are currently seeking a Project Manager to oversee these and other media platforms, ensuring our outreach remains effective and engaging.
