Would you like to establish a group of Volunteers to enhance The Community in Penarth, or make an existing one a sub-group?

​

All of the activities that The Society are involved in came from a member who wanted to improve something about our town. We would very much like to encourage more people to come forward with suggestions for projects which would deliver such improvements.

​

The Society has over 30 years’ experience in campaigning and organising volunteer programmes and we are determined to pass this experience on to assist like-minded people to create new schemes which we see as in alignment with the principles and aspirations of the Society.

We have a Support Package that is available to any group that the Society adopts.

​

Principal features are:

1. A Grant of £100 to book a Hall and promote an Open Event for the community to launch the scheme and call for volunteers.

2. The benefit of the umbrella support of the Society as a Charitiable Incorporated Organisation to assist with applications for financial support and grant packages.

3. Insurance cover for all volunteers and attendees at any events organised.

4. A web page on our website to publicise the group.

5. Support in the form of articles in the regular Society Newsletters to publicise the scheme.

6. Access to a wide variety of other individuals and groups who are involved with The Society to help & support the establishment, and the running of projects, including IT, horticulture, accounts and applying for grants.

7. Assistance with establishing and running a Facebook page and other social media.

8. The chance to input into the wider community activities & projects of Penarth that we cover to help shape and progress them.
