Student Volunteering Cardiff (SVC) had their most successful volunteer recruitment fayre to date last Monday September 29, with record numbers of people in attendance.
The fayre was SVC’s biggest ever, with over 35 different volunteer projects on offer.
As well as the student-led volunteer projects, the fayre also saw more outside agencies in attendance than in previous years.
SVC projects work with Cardiff’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable people. Some of the volunteering opportunities on offer include helping out in special needs schools, gardening with adults who have learning disabilities and cooking meals at a shelter for the homeless. One of the most popular stalls at the fayre was a new project mentoring young offenders.
SVC Manager Andrea Dare said: “With such a fantastic turn out, and such enthusiasm among students, SVC looks set to have a truly successful year and to continue to build on the work it does in the local community.”
