Volunteering

 

Volunteering is the lifeblood of communities and voluntary groups. It is estimated that a staggering 60% of RCT, around 140,000 people, volunteer whether in a group or by helping neighbours.

Volunteering is a way to:

  • get skills or experience for a dream job
  • give something back to the community
  • stay active after retirement
  • save the world, or at least Rhondda Cynon Taf

That could mean that you:

  • work with animals
  • get involved with youth work
  • have fun dancing, for instance if you become a gig buddy
  • use your sports skills
  • provide first aid
  • meet new people
  • plant a wood, for instance if you become involved with a tree planting project

Whatever you’re into and whoever you are, you can find the right opportunity through us. Here’s a useful information sheet if you’re considering volunteering but not sure where to start.
