| We have BIG ambitions for Cwmclydach, but without support and feedback from
the local and wider community our vision will not be realised.
The work Cwmclydach Community Partnership do, is driven by volunteers who
give a little time every month to support the continuous improvement and
development of Cwmclydach.
Volunteering Explained
Volunteering is simple. It's about giving your time
to do something useful, without getting paid (apart from expenses).
In return you get the satisfaction of time and effort
well spent. In addition, volunteering can be a great way to:
 |
meet new people, |
 |
learn new skills, |
 |
gain useful experience, |
 |
& It should also be fun! |
The range of opportunities is huge. Whatever skills
and experience you have, there is something that you can do. The best way to
see what is available is to contact the communities first team.
The biggest problem for many people is finding the
time to volunteer. It can reduce your choices if you don't have much time to
spare, but many busy people do find suitable opportunities. Again, give us a
call and we'll see what opportunities are available at the times that suit
you.
Once you start volunteering you should usually
expect:
 |
payment of out-of pocket expenses (eg travel), |
 |
a clear idea of what your role will be, |
 |
appropriate training and support, |
 |
Remember, if you aren't clear about anything, don't
be afraid to ask someone! |
If you would like to see details of current
opportunities, please contact us. We are currently
developing a new web feature called The Volunteer Board which will allow you
to view the different projects you're able to get involved with and the kind
of skills/experience you could gain.
The partnership works hard to support and develop
Cwmclydach, but we NEED MORE HELP!
