Volunteering

Without the involvement of our volunteers the Gellideg Foundation Group would not be able to provide the variety of services or activities that currently take place. We are very grateful for all our volunteers for all their time and hard work that they put in throughout the year.

Volunteers are essential to the Cyfarthfa Ward and by helping and working together with various agencies their efforts and commitments enable many services and activities to take place.

All volunteers deserve recognition for the difference they are making to the community, freely giving of their own time, sharing skills and helping wherever and however they can. Many volunteers work in the background and are unsung heroes and even refuse to be mentioned having satisfaction that they themselves are fulfilling. So we say a big Thank You and express our appreciation for all you are doing within the Ward.

Colette Watkins (Project Manager) said: "For the last 11 years, local residents have worked together to improve the local community in Gellideg. The majority of our staff also live in the area and we rely heavily on our many volunteers who have shown exceptional drive, energy and a real commitment to our mission statement: “The future of our community is ours to create."
