IT'S YOUR CHOICE

It will not cost you anything. All volunteer expenses will be paid.

What's in it for you?

For 100 hours of volunteering you will receive a certificate of recognition. For 200 hours you will receive an Award of Excellence from the First Minister of The National Assembly for Wales in recognition of your hard work and commitment.

Its a fun way to meet new people, develop your personal skills and acquire valuable work experience.

Your achievements will be recognised by employers, colleges and the local community. So it might help you get into college or find a job.
