The event saw children and young people from schools, youth clubs and other settings put on a number of fantastic performances, including school choirs, poetry readings and rap.
It included the very youngest children from Flying Start settings, who were helped by the audience to sing a few songs, and the Let’s Shine singalong choir, jointly supported by the council’s disabled children’s team and a local specialist school.
A competition was held to design this year’s programme cover, with participants asked to show what kindness meant to them. Ten-year-old Manaaz Jamal’s entry was chosen as the winner from a very strong field of entries.
“Today’s event was a fantastic celebration of our city’s children and young people,” said Councillor Laura Lacey, cabinet member for social services.
“Everyone who took part today was amazing, and it was very inspiring to see so many wonderful performances.
“I’d like to thank everyone involved in organising the event, and Newport Cathedral for once again playing host to it.”
