Gentle Giant Trust brings exhibition to pupils of Porth
Pupils from Porth County Community School are to get the unique opportunity to attend a writing workshop celebrating the life of Welsh football legend, John Charles.

The workshop forms part of a whole exhibition which has been developed to commemorate the life and legacy of John Charles, also known as the Gentle Giant because of his incredible sense of fair play both on and off the pitch.

The exhibition is being sponsored by HSW print and in recognition of this a special workshop is being held at the company. HSW Print prepared all the posters, the full colour book about John Charles’ life and leaflets which are given to all who visit the exhibition.

Director at the company, Malcolm Hackman said, “We were approached to get involved with the Gentle Giant Trust and have been delighted to help with the exhibition because it is very worthwhile.

“By having a mini gentle giant workshop here in our offices we feel that some of the young people in this area are likely to benefit as well.”

Phil Cope, exhibition organiser and friend of John Charles will be leading the workshop with esteemed Welsh writer, Lloyd Robson.
