✨ From Family Time to Community Action: Driving Lasting Change

On Monday 13th July, we proudly published our report, “From Family Time to Community Action: An Evaluation of Family Volunteering Club in Wales,” highlighting the impact of our family volunteering work across Wales over the past 10 months.

We were also delighted to welcome so many people to our webinar on 15th July, where our independent evaluator, Dr Ali Body, shared the report’s findings in more detail. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us - it was fantastic to see such a great turnout and inspiring discussion.

This report is more than a reflection on our work; it’s a springboard for creating systems change and unlocking the incredible potential of children and families to build stronger, healthier and happier communities.

If you’d like to be part of the conversation or support our work, we’d love to hear from you.
