Coleg Cambria will host this year’s Welsh Baccalaureate Volunteering Fairs.
Flintshire Local Voluntary Council (FLVC) has confirmed the return of the popular annual events – now expanded with two sessions taking place in October.
The first fair will be held at Deeside Sixth Form Centre on Monday, October 6, from 11am–2pm. A second date follows at Northop Library on Thursday, October 9, from 11am–1.30pm.
The fairs provide students with the chance to meet local organisations, discover a variety of volunteering opportunities, and understand how they can make a difference in their communities while building valuable skills and experience.
More than 300 students attended last year’s Deeside event, and with two sessions planned this autumn, FLVC anticipates even greater participation from both students and voluntary organisations.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing the Volunteering Fair back, and grateful to Coleg Cambria for once again providing such excellent venues,” said Emily Morgan, Volunteering Development Officer at FLVC.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for our students to explore meaningful roles with charities and community groups, while also helping organisations connect with the next generation of volunteers.”
She added: “The Welsh Baccalaureate places a strong emphasis on community engagement and personal development, so events like this are invaluable in showing learners how volunteering can boost their confidence, broaden their horizons, and give them practical experience beyond the classroom.
“Not only does volunteering help them make a positive impact locally, but it also strengthens their CVs, university applications, and future job prospects. We’re confident this year’s fairs will be bigger and better than ever.”
Organisations interested in taking part are encouraged to book a stand as soon as possible, with spaces expected to fill quickly.
