GwirVol : A partnership to promote youth volunteering in Wales
The Evening Leader reports that in Wales, a partnership to promote youth volunteering has just been launched, called ‘GwirVol‘ – a combination of the words ‘volunteering’ in Welsh and English. The partners are many in number, and includes voluntary and community organisations, as well as representation from the public and private sectors. It is also strongly informed by the views of young people in Wales. It aims to take forward the recommendations of the Russell Commission as ratified by the Welsh Assembly. In that sense, it mirrors the work that V is doing in England.
GwirVol was formally launched on 6th April 2009. There’s plenty of information on their recently-launched website, so if you’re curious to know more, just head there.
