Volunteering at Homemakers South Wales

Our volunteers come from all different backgrounds and we operate an equal opportunities policy. We have volunteers who use their experiences with Homemakers to advance into full-time employment others enjoy just learning new skills and being active. Volunteers can experience and learn a wide range of skills including collecting furniture, customer service skills, administration support and practical workshop skills.
