VOLUNTEERS

WHY ARE VOLUNTEERS IMPORTANT?

Volunteers can play a crucial role in the support we provide to women, young people and children who experience violence and abuse. Volunteering can also help individuals develop self-confidence, esteem, friendships and a sense of community. Indeed, volunteers are an important link between our services and our communities; we want to learn from our volunteers, and encourage them to be an integral part of Cardiff Women’s Aid.

We aim to offer a wide range of volunteering roles to reflect the skills and diversity of the populations we exist to serve, whether that’s volunteering directly with people we support, or assisting our central services with campaigning and fundraising. Check out our current opportunities below; if you don’t see a role you like, use the application form to tell us about the kind of volunteering you’re interested in. We always welcome new ideas and perspectives and are excited to see our volunteering programme develop over time!
