To provide support and information to informal carers
Some people know exactly what they want to do - all they need is a telephone number and away they go.  But for most people, the choice can be intimidating.

Asking yourself a number of questions can help narrow down the field. For example:

  • How much time do I have and when am I available?
  • How far am I prepared to travel and is the payment of expenses important to me?
  • What interests and experiences can I bring to my volunteering?
  • Do I like working one-to-one or with groups of people?
  • Do I have what it takes to work with troubled young people, the disabled or the elderly, and if not, would I like the challenge of finding out?
  • Are there particular issues or causes that I would like to help?

    The website is a useful way a finding out what the possibilities are. It is made up of information provided by the 22 volunteer centre's based across Wales. Volunteer centre's are voluntary organisations that can provide information and advice on volunteering.

    There is a volunteer centre in each local authority area and twelve community support groups in Powys. Each will keep information on what opportunities are available in the area. Try it out - go back to the Home Page, put the cursor on the map of Wales and see the names of the volunteer centre light up.
