Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru appeals for volunteers

Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) Cymru is launching a volunteer recruitment drive in Wales today.  The HIV and sexual health charity is looking for local people who are able to give up some of their time to support work in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Carmarthenshire and North Wales.

In particular THT Cymru is looking for people who’d like to get involved in health promotion work with gay men in the community or via the internet as part of the Netreach project on Gaydar.  The team is also looking for people who’d like to work on events or fundraising for the charity.

Marika Williamson, Acting National Manager for Wales said “Our volunteers play a vital role in our work and without them, we couldn’t provide all the services we do.  If you decide to volunteer, In return for giving up some of your time we’ll ensure you’re trained and supported.  It’s also a great opportunity to make new friends. If you’re interested in making a difference and would like to help Terrence Higgins Trust please get in touch”

People who are interested in volunteering for THT Cymru and would like to know more should contact Dafydd Frayling on 029 2066 6465 or email info.cymru@tht.org.uk
