Dear friends and colleagues, This newsletter comes to you as 'Month of Community’ draws to a close. The team at C3SC were pleased to be out and about taking part in the celebrations in Volunteers' Week, Refugee Week and Carers Week alongside our members and friends - see page 10 for more details.

Celebrating the support and activities that are available through volunteers and the voluntary sector in local communities across the city seems even more important than ever in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the way it impacted on so many of us and on so many areas of our lives. As well as taking the learning from the pandemic of the importance of communities and community action, collaboration and social value, we at C3SC are also planning and shaping how we can support the community sector with the challenges of the pandemic recovery alongside Brexit, the war in Europe and the cost of living crisis.

You will be aware we are developing a Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Strategy which aims to develop a shared narrative and goals around how the sector can continue and do more to help provide solutions to complex social, economic and environmental issues.

We have worked on new strategies - including our business and funding plans - and reviewed our Member Networks to help to support this agenda, and we are offering opportunities for you to share your thoughts, views and experiences - see page 15 to respond to our survey on the cost of living crisis and what it means for you and the communities you support, and from page 16 for other opportunities to connect with us.

As a sector, we have made significant contributions over the years to making the city fairer, greener and more prosperous, and we look forward to continuing to work with you to shape and embed the role of the VCSE sector as a lead provider of solutions to the challenges faced by our communities.

We wish you, your colleagues and family peace, harmony, good health and happiness at Eid ul-Adha.

Best wishes, Sheila and the Team at C3SC

Community Connections

Our Community Connections team has been busy supporting people through our employability projects. Working alongside the Cardiff Volunteer Centre team, since March, we have supported over 70 people looking to get back into work.

This support includes finding volunteering placements, CV writing, interview skills, and opportunities to meet employers with vacancies across Cardiff.

3 participants have already gained employment and several others have been invited to interview at a range of jobs across the city. Through skills-matching participants to meaningful volunteering opportunities, we have helped people to learn new skills, refine old ones, and give back to their local community.

Our team is always out and about at events across the city. We have been at Cardiff Central Library weekly, as well as popping up at various events. We are looking forward to continuing our outreach with sessions at REACH+, YMCA Cardiff, and local Job Centres.

Cardiff Volunteer Coordinators Network Are you involved in managing or supporting volunteers? Perhaps you’re a paid worker or volunteer yourself. The CVC Network is run in partnership with Volunteers Coordinators, Managers, Supervisors, and Team Leaders across Cardiff and provides an opportunity to share best practice and learning on how to induct, support and train volunteers and colleagues who work with volunteers, as well as new ideas for including volunteers and recognising and rewarding their contribution to your organisation.

The Cardiff Volunteer Centre

At Cardiff Volunteer Centre @C3SC, our priorities are supporting volunteering and ensuring good quality, inclusive and accessible opportunities for people from a diversity of backgrounds, and promoting the positive contributions volunteering makes to the wellbeing of both the volunteers themselves and the people, communities and organisations they help.

Volunteer with C3SC ''The experience I had so far has been excellent, and that is the very inclusive and person centred approach to their recruitment and selection process, whereby the role description was tailored to my needs.''

- Awa (Admin Assistant Volunteer)

We welcomed a new Volunteer Admin Assistant to the C3SC team in June! Awa first contacted the Volunteer Centre in May to discuss the volunteer role she found on the Volunteering-Wales platform. Through phone calls and in person meetings, Awa and the team at C3SC were able to create a volunteer agreement that supports Awa’s goals of increasing her employability and confidence in the workplace, and in turn supports the C3SC team to share quality information with the sector! Awa will be assisting members of staff in the delivery of the weekly Health, Social Care and Wellbeing e-bulletin. About her new role, Awa said ''Some reasonable adjustments were made at all stages of the process, which made me feel valued and included, even before I officially start volunteering...

Above all, the whole environment and process contributed to prepare me psychologically to embark on a new role, as an Admin Assistant Volunteer.''

Would you like to join the team at Cardiff Third Sector Council (C3SC) as a volunteer? We are looking for volunteer Admin Assistants. The role is perfect for individuals looking to cultivate communication and digital skills, and assist a friendly and passionate team dedicated to supporting the third sector in Cardiff.

You can register your interest in this opportunity through the Volunteering-Wales portal. If you would like to discuss this role with a member of the Volunteer Centre team, reach out to us directly at volunteer@c3sc.org.uk or call Kailee Carella at: 07973 725 690
