Volunteering:
Over the past year, a group of young people from the area have been volunteering at Menter’s events, such as drama clubs, Gŵyl Canol Dre, Gŵyl Fach Newy’, Ras Fach y Wiber and various other sessions and Menter Gorllewin Sir Gâr is very grateful for their work and time.
The experience of volunteering locally is more than giving something back to the community, but also an opportunity to gain confidence, develop general transferable skills as well as world of work skills. Menter’s volunteering opportunities are based on participation that demonstrates best practice and offers an opportunity to take responsibility and make decisions. Menter definitely appreciates the work of our volunteers and sees their value on a weekly basis. If you are interested in volunteering with Menter, contact us on 01239 712934 / ymholiad@mgsg.cymru
