Whether you want to support Adult Carers informally as part of your volunteering with another group or organisation or whether you want to become a volunteer with Gofalwyr Ceredigion Carers, there is a huge range of exciting, small and big ways you can do your bit to support Adult Carers in your community! 

​

Examples of roles include: telephone support for Carers, helping out at groups, setting up homework clubs and much more. We are interested in getting to know YOU: your hobbies, your skills, your passions, your ideas and your life experiences. We believe that every person has a unique outlook and skill set that is valuable to others. We are committed to enabling you to flourish in the role we create together. 

​

Volunteer roles within the organisation are flexible, allowing you almost complete control over your own hours and workload. We value every second of your time, and you will not be pressured into doing more than you want. Whether you would prefer to provide personalised support or lead large groups, or if you simply want to invite guest speakers to your local group to raise awareness of Carers, Credu can give you any information / training / support to do so.

"Supporting Carers as a volunteer for Credu isn’t always easy, but is always rewarding. I don’t feel I do very much, talking with or listening to the Carers I support, but I do feel an enormous sense of privilege at being the one that a Carer will choose to share their thoughts, feelings and challenges with. I admire the Carers I support greatly and if my Credu calls help them even just a little bit, then that’s reward enough for me.” – John Raftree, Credu Volunteer 

​

Credu is laying the groundwork to welcome new volunteers and aid them in their personal and professional journeys. The Wales Council for Voluntary Action has allocated 6 months of funding to Credu, enabling us to recruit, train and support more people to support Carers of all ages through the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. We want people with their own skills and experience to find their individual foothold within the organisation, generating their own ideas and working within their own communities. Anyone with a plan and passion to see it through is welcomed with open arms and given and given full support and training. 

All sessions are free and Credu actively works to make them accessible for all.
