SPAN Cyrraedd – SPAN Reach
Our programme design places the needs of the volunteers at the centre.
At the heart of what we do is a commitment to work with the people for the people. We engage with our artists, community members and volunteers to define the work we deliver. We work with our volunteers to help design our program of events and projects; your voice helps us shape SPAN Cyrraedd.
SPAN Cyrraedd provides flexible, creative volunteering opportunities for individuals to positively engage with their community – improving personal confidence, supporting physical activity, and building personal connections to improve their mental and physical health.
With your support as a volunteer, we can create a vibrant and accessible programme of creative activities across Pembrokeshire, providing opportunities for people to learn new skills, engage physically and express themselves creatively.
SPAN Cyrraedd is supported by the WCVA volunteering fund.
Why Volunteer?
There are many benefits to becoming a volunteer:
- Make friends with people! Our volunteers enjoy meeting new people, having fun, and making creative events and activities happen in Pembrokeshire.
- It is great work experience. Whether you want to work in the arts or not you will learn transferable skills. This can be used on a CV to show that you are part of your community. You will also gain real skills and experience that will boost your confidence.
- Learn something new. As part of an event or project you can learn plenty of new skills from our other volunteers and artists. This can be varied as each event requires different skills. There is also the opportunity to undertake courses should you wish to.
- All the arts for all the people. As a SPAN Volunteer, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are contributing to sustaining the arts in Pembrokeshire and enabling everyone to be inspired and entertained and not just the few.
- Increase your wellbeing. Volunteering can boost your self-esteem, offer a sense of purpose, and help you feel happier.
