Youth club leader Nick Hudd has moved to reassure local families that young people at Milford Haven Youth Club, Pembrokeshire, had a safe and enjoyable Christmas party, after an unfortunate mix-up on social media.

A concerned mother from Somerset posted a comment online that her daughter had been the subject of an attempted abduction at her local club’s Christmas party – at Milford Youth Club in Yeovil.

Her comment resulted in some social media users believing the incident happened in Pembrokeshire.

Nick says nothing could be further from the truth.

“We had a fantastic youth club party with over 50 people attending – including members from the Neighbourhood police team!” he said.

“The celebrations included a disco, eating challenges, a festive quiz, a chocolate scavenge and even a snow machine outside making helping to set the Christmassy scene.” 

Neighbourhood Police Sgt. Terri Harrison confirmed that no such incident had taken place in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire.

“Local PCSOs attended the event to engage with the youth and staff and state that a great time was had by all.  They were present at the end of the night also where all attendees left with no incidents reported whatsoever,” she said.

Nick said local youngsters also enjoyed helping to organise the annual Christmas lunch for local pensioners which they have hosted every year for the last six years.
