This is an exciting volunteering project, working with older disabled people from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in Wales.
Are you an older disabled person from a BME background, who has an impairment, long-term condition or illness?

Are you interested in using your skills and knowledge to make a real difference to Organisations or Community Groups in Wales?

You will be volunteering in a friendly and relaxed environment and your travel expenses will be paid.

The project provides opportunities to:

• increase existing skills and learn new ones
• receive FREE training and gain new work experience to boost your CV
• become more involved in the community
• meet people and make new friends

We welcome all older disabled people from BME communities, whatever your skills or experience.
Training and support will be available and you can volunteer for as many hours, or period of time, as you would like to.

All travel expenses will be reimbursed and we will support and advise you on any access needs or related issues.
