"My name is Stuart Ball and I am totally and utterly blind due to having Cancer in my eyes as a child. I am currently volunteering for Sight Life, an amazing charity for blind and partially sighted people, which supports over 3,000 people with sight loss across Cardiff, RCT and Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot."
"I have volunteered in year 9 in Role Play Lane which is a not-for-profit role-playing centre designed for children which offer a huge variety of different education and well-being classes. As a volunteer I have helped fundraise, collect raffle items and have helped with promotion for Role Play Lane."
"Craig has gone out of his way to drive a local campaign to bring local businesses on board to proudly display our posters in windows, stalls, bars and even toilets. With an enormous response we now have posters displayed in the majority of the businesses in Aberdare as well as other areas too."
"Annette created Rhondda Fach Veterans, a veterans group for the patients of Ferndale Medical Centre as a safe and friendly space to meet and share experiences. She started by contacting patients known to the surgery as veterans and worked with Katy, an Interlink Wellbeing Coordinator, at the surgery to help link Tylorstown Surgery up with the group."
"I volunteer with the Beavers section of 1st Tonyrefail /2nd Gilfach Goch scouts group. I began volunteering when my son began in Squirrels a little over a year ago."
Back in 2023, we spoke to Volunteers and Volunteer Coordinators across Rhondda Cynon Taff (RCT) to find out the importance and benefits of volunteering.
