CAVS Volunteer Centre Thank You Day

To celebrate national Volunteers' Week and the hard work of volunteers from across Carmarthenshire, CAVS Volunteer Centre held a Volunteer Thank You Day at The Botanic Garden of Wales on Monday 2 June.

CAVS' Director Ieuan Williams tell us about the Thank You Day. Filmed by Adrianna, Manager of Oxfam Carmarthen.

Volunteers could enjoy free entry to the garden. The day started with a welcome by Ieuan Williams, a few words by Peter Hamilton, Development Manager at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, and a performance by Tumble Primary School Choir.

Then attendees had some time to explore the gardens, meet Volunteer Centre staff and enjoy a massage, reflexology or salsa dancing workshop. The British Red Cross were also holding First Aid workshops.
