Volunteering

Volunteering is the commitment of time and energy given freely for the benefit of others in the community, the environment, and of the individual concerned. It is undertaken by choice and without concern for personal financial gain.

Volunteering digital platform:  we enable organisations to develop and promote high quality, accessible volunteering opportunities, match volunteers to suitable roles and provide digital tools to manage volunteers through the nation-wide volunteering website www.volunteering-wales.net
