Stonewall Cymru volunteering events

Want to help change attitudes towards Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB) people in Wales?

Ever wondered about what you can do to improve life for LGB people in Wales?
Stonewall Cymru are running taster events across Wales where young people (16-25) can find out more about volunteering for Stonewall Cymru and have a go at some volunteering activities.
Volunteering opportunities include: updating website, contact development, media monitoring, outreach and helping at stalls, and training assistants.
We welcome all volunteers whether you can commit to 1 event per year or up to 4 hours per week.

Soft drinks and biscuits provided
Travel expenses will be repaid for youth volunteers, just keep your receipts or tickets.

This event is open to people of all ages. Please note we can only repay travel expenses for people aged 16-25, as this event is funded by the Russell Commission.

Contact: Eleanor.hicks@stonewallcymru.org.uk to confirm or for more information, or just turn up on the day.
