CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS IN THE OGMORE VALLEY

As part of grant funding received from BAVO -The Youth Bridgend funding group, the youth committee are completing a Volunteering study with local volunteers .

We wish to use the information to produce a resource created by our youth committee promoting how volunteering could benefit other young people/ adults and the community as a whole, demonstrating the personal and social rewards to their peer group and to other members of the community.

Could you please therefore take a few minutes to complete the following questions on your role as volunteer so these can be collated to produce the resource.

We are also producing a general survey on how the general public view volunteering in our community, this will be released shortly.

We would appreciate your feedback !!!

Thank You to BAVO, Bridgend County Borough Council - Youth funding and to everyone who takes the time to complete the survey.

After much thought and reflection, I have decided not to renew the license for TEDxNantymoel. I will always be incredibly proud of the wonderful speakers who took to the TEDx stage and shared their inspirational ideas, but without secure financial backing it is impossible to continue, and I also have to consider my own mental health and wellbeing.

I am deeply thankful to all of those who thosColeg Penybont - Bridgend College aAweno The Mem Community Centre Inc Nantymoel Boys And Girls Clube MemThe Brothers' CafeInc Nantymoel Boys And Girls Club and The Brothers' Cafe, and others who helped make the events a reality.

I will keep the social media pages live, and if anyone is interested in taking over the mantle please do TED in touch and once they have obtained a license from TED I will transfer admin status to them.

In the meantime, please do consider checking out the fantastic talks from our three events:

We are about to begin . Had a lovely morning at the Ogmore Valley Su***de Awareness CIC wellbeing day, enjoying a gong bath (https://patriciaunderwoodgongs.co.uk) and then listened to a fascinating talk from Arsenal Whittick about his life experiences (https://bookguild.co.uk/bookshop/biography/a-boy-called-arsenal)

TEDxNantymoel has always been keen to highlight local speakers with stories related to mental and wellbeing, providing a platform for people with lived experience. Whilst much progress has been made towards destigmatising the topic of mental health, there is more to be done ❤️

Come and join us for a wellbeing day - because you matter❤️

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. That’s why we’re hosting a wellbeing day - a space for you to pause, connect, and take care of yourself and others.

Whether you’re struggling, supporting someone, or just need a moment to breathe, you’re welcome here. Let’s come together and remind each other that you are not alone❤️

What an absolutely incredible river clean up by Keep Wales Tidy - South East and Al Phillips involving wonderful volunteers to clear litter from the Ogmore River.

Reading about this project reminded me of Carl Gough’s talk from last year’s TEDxNantymoel event: https://youtu.be/b55NrnWY1U0?si=SGq-q0TnGc8pD1Y4
