up with support from the charity, which was founded by Charles in 1976.  Charles held discussions with young people about challenges they have overcome, as well as supporters and guests of


the charity.  The Prince's Trust Cymru has supported more than 3,000 people in Wales over the past 12 months.  Then Charles visited the Caerphilly Miners Community Centre where he met


volunteers and learned about the centre's programmes.  Activities at the centre, which was founded by local residents in 2008, include language classes, yoga, cinema clubs and


children's parties.  Charles will then attend one of the supported housing services managed by the charity Abbeyfield, of which he is patron.  PRINCE CHARLES REVEALS HE'S
