Value in the Vale provides Vale residents with opportunities to volunteer for local organisations and in turn rewards them for their time.
A new website was launched in October 2022 which is a one-stop shop for volunteers and partner organisations. It provides details of volunteering opportunities, allows organisations to recruit volunteers and gives volunteers the option to exchange rewards for their time.
Rewards can be anything from a cup of coffee and a slice of cake to a beauty treatment or a parcel of toiletries. Value in the Vale is a circular economy. All the volunteering opportunities and rewards are with organisations who are based in the Vale of Glamorgan. Volunteering is a holistic experience that can also be beneficial to health, wellbeing, reducing social isolation and improving skills.
