The definition of volunteering used by the Welsh Assembly Government in the Voluntary Sector Scheme is:

‘Volunteering is an important expression of citizenship and is an essential component of democracy. It is the commitment of time and energy for the benefit of society and the community and can take many forms. It is undertaken freely and by choice, without concern for financial gain.’

Whether you're a paid worker or a volunteer, we hope you'll find what you need to help you with your work.
