As part of Volunteers’ Week, we’re shining a light on the incredible people and organisations across RCT who give their time to make a difference in their communities.

Today is Power of Youth Day — a celebration of the positive contributions young people make through volunteering. Organised by the #iWill Movement, this national day highlights the role of young people as powerful agents of change and encourages us all to empower the leaders of tomorrow.

At Meadow Street Community Gardens in Pontypridd, young volunteers are helping to shape a vibrant, inclusive space where people of all ages can connect with nature, learn new skills, and grow together.

Read on to learn how volunteers, including young people like Holly, are making a lasting impact in their community.
