Benefits of Volunteering

Volunteering has so many benefits – both to the individual volunteering and to the beneficiaries of their support.

As a volunteer with Cyfannol, you can:

  • Support and strengthen your community

  • Make a meaningful difference to individuals

  • Develop new skills and build your self-confidence

  • Be part of a team and connect with new people

  • Receive specialist training and regular supervision

  • Gain experience of working with a specialist VAWDASV organisation

  • Give your time, earn Tempo Time Credits, and enjoy fun activities in return

Knowing that just giving some of your time can make such a difference to someone’s future is amazing. It’s so fulfilling and the team members have been so supportive during the training and onto the volunteering itself!
