In 1994-95, Carmarthen faced a youth crisis with limited recreational opportunities, leading many young people to congregate on street corners and engage in antisocial behaviour. The Youth Town Council’s letter to the Carmarthen Journal sparked community dialogue about addressing these challenges.

A collaborative group emerged, including Town/County Councillor Margaret Evans, parents, clergy, the Society for Children, and young people themselves. Through consultation, they identified the need for a safe, welcoming space where young people could socialise, participate in activities, and have decision-making input.

In 1997, this vision materialised as Dr M’z, named by the young people to honour Dr. Margaret Evans, whose dedication and leadership inspired the project. The centre opened to over 100 participants aged 11-25, offering diverse activities from ice skating to Christmas events.

Since inception, Dr M’z has served thousands of young people through adventure activities, skill development programs, and community engagement opportunities, promoting personal growth, teamwork, and civic responsibility while providing essential youth services to Carmarthen.
