Valuing the Work of the third sectors volunteers in Newport

Volunteers are the life blood of every community group across the city, without them we simply wouldn't be able to run and support the community.
Within Newport we hold an annual Volunteer Awards Ceremony to highlight and celebrate the people who have given so much to volunteering.
