	sleeping bags as they will be sleeping in a field on the floor. It is very important to bring wet weather clothing as 
	volunteers will be outside for the entire festival and the British weather is unpredictable. 
	Location: Beach dreams festival site is a ten minute walk from Shoreham-by-Sea train station.  Shoreham-by-Sea 
	is located on the south east coast about an hour from London and half an hour from Brighton.  The festival site is

	CONCUK19               OXFORD MENCAP 2 09.08 – 16.08    DIS    4 VOLS
	Deadline for applications – 1st July
	Each year Oxford Mencap organises holidays for adults and young people with learning disabilities. Around 14–20 
	campers attend each week with a similar number of volunteers. 
	Work: International volunteers will work alongside UK staff and volunteers supporting those on the holidays. This 
	includes helping them with every day activities such as getting up and washing as well as helping them to get the 
	most out of the activities and excursions. Each volunteer is usually allocated to one camper for the day or week 
	and each week the people attending will change. The camp is packed with outings and activities including sports, 
	games and entertainment. Volunteers also help run other aspects of camp such as cooking, and cleaning as many 
	of the guests attending will not need full time support. Every evening there is an opportunity to talk about 
	experiences in the day and prepare for the next day. Many of the guests at this project have been enjoying these 
	holidays for several years and are likely to show the volunteers what to do!!

	CONCUK21     ADVENTURECUS    09.08 – 27.08     SPORT/KIDS    20 VOLS
	Last year Hurstpierpoint Tenants & Residents Association ran an 8 day sporting event called Adventurecus for 
	children who live in a socially deprived area. The event was based at Hurstpierpoint College which is very 
	privileged and has many excellent sports facilities. During Adventurecus the children had access to all of the 
	facilities and professional sports coaches tutored them. Since then some of the children have been selected to 
	train in children’s Olympic teams and the K2 climbing club. The event was such a success that it will take place 
	again this year and will be bigger and better.
	Work: One of the biggest problems last year was a lack of supervision and this year Concordia International 
	Volunteers have been invited to help with this. Each sports session lasts for 90minutes and involves 10 children 
	and 1 tutor. Adventurecus need 2 volunteers to help supervise each session. The main task will be watching the 
	kids during the sessions. Some sessions will be quite boring as there will not be much to do but other sessions the 
	volunteers will be able to participate alongside the children. The sports activities include: rugby, football, rock 
	climbing, tennis, canoeing, windsurfing and many many more.
	Accommodation: Volunteers will sleep on the floor of a Scout hut. All facilities are provided and the group will cook 
	and eat together.
	Location:  Hurstpierpoint is a small village in the Southeast just north of Brighton and approximately 1 hour from 
	London. It is surrounded by countryside and is a beautiful sleepy village hidden just north of the South Downs. 
	Terminal: London Airports and Hassocks train station for arrivals and departures.
	Special requirements: Volunteers need a Certificate of Good Conduct which must be sent to Concordia at least 
	three weeks before the project takes place. 2 references are also required. Alcohol is not permitted on site and 
	there is a no smoking policy at the school. Volunteers with an interest in sport are particularly welcome and 
	volunteers who can swim are given priority. Please note that some of the sessions will involve standing at the side
	 of the pitch and watching the kids and there will not be a lot to do but the work will be on a rota so will change 
	throughout the project.

	during the summer holidays.
	Work Volunteers will help support the running of the playscheme for 4-14 year olds. There may also be the 
	opportunity to work with children/young people with special needs who may be up to 18 years old. The playscheme 
	usually runs for 4 hours a day but there may be children on site from 7am – 6pm and the volunteers are 
	encouraged to play with these children. Also on 20th August it is National Play Day and NIPPERS will be holding a 
	large free fun day for the community.
	Accommodation: Volunteers will sleep on the floor of a local building which has toilets. Showers will be in a sports 
	hut. They will need to bring sleeping bags and roll mats. The group will cook for themselves and make sandwiches 
	to eat with the children at lunchtime.

	but it is near Brighton a vibrant seaside town which the group may decide to visit on their day off.
	Terminal: London Airports or Eurostar stations and Newhaven Town train station.
	Special requirements: Volunteers will need a Certificate of Good Conduct and 2 references. Please bring 
	games/activities from your home country to do with the kids (Martial arts such as karate are not permitted). Please
	 note the children are largely from socially deprived backgrounds and some of their behaviour can be quite

	Nicholas Watts is a keen conservationist and has won many national awards for conservation. Nicholas Watts 
	started recording the breeding birds on his farm in 1982, by 1992 he realised that the numbers off breeding birds 
	was disappearing. Ever since he realised this he has been planting hedges and digging ponds to try and bring back 
	the wildlife. These ponds and hedges now need some maintenance and that will be the job of the volunteers. 
	Work will consist of planting trees, chopping bushes down, clearing islands of vegetation, thinning woods and 
	general maintenance work to improve habitats on Vine House Farm as well as one or two neighbouring farms.  
	Accommodation: Volunteers will sleep in beds in a three bedroom house on the farm with central heating. There is a

	CONCUK28        HAIRY CATERPILLARS       DATES TBC         ENV        9  VOLS
	Spurn Head has a problem – a hairy caterpillar problem! In the summer months the Brown Tailed Moth caterpillar 
	(Euproctis chrysorrhoea) wakes up after sleeping through the winter and causes a lot of misery for the people who 
	live in the area. This is because the caterpillar has fine hairs which are released into the air and cause skin irritation
	 for people who are affected by it. Some people want to leave their homes the problem is so bad. The Yorkshire 
	Wildlife Trust have found an environmentally friendly way to reduce the numbers of these caterpillars but need a 
	lot of people to do this and have invited Concordia volunteers to help them.
	Work: In the winter the caterpillars weave a tent around their bodies and go to sleep, they are not harmful when 
	they are in their tents. Volunteers are asked to remove the tents from hedgerows using gardening tools so that 
	they cause as little damage to the hedges as possible. The caterpillars are then collected and thrown on the fire. 
	This is the most ethical way to solve the problem and means there is no need for poison or burning the hedges and
	 the birds and animals that live in the hedges are not affected. 
	Accommodation: Volunteers will sleep in beds but they will need to bring WARM SLEEPING BAGS AS IT WILL BE 
	VERY COLD. There are kitchen facilities, shower and toilet.
	Location: Spurn Head is a beautiful but very remote area 1 hour drive from Hull in the northeast of England. It is a 
	three and a half mile peninsula, composed of sand and shingle, stretching out between the North Sea and the River
	 Humber in a south-westerly direction. 
	Terminal: Hull Train Station
	Special requirements: The caterpillars can cause a very nasty skin irritation which can itch and cause blisters, 
	some people are sensitive to them and some people are not affected. The project is in a very remote but beautiful 
	location so most evenings will be spent at the accommodation.

	location: Glanaman, Carmarthenshire
	meeting point: Llanelli Railway/Bus Station 
	project description:
	Carmarthenshire, located in the Southwest of the country, is known as ‘The Garden of Wales’ for its beautiful 
	countryside, which reaches from the rugged coastline of Carmarthenshire Bay in the south, to the Black Mountain 
	region of the Brecon Beacons in the east and the gentle hills of Pembroke to the West. Caerfyrddin (or 
	Carmarthen, in English) is the county’s largest town, and the legendary birthplace of Myrddin, the wise magician of 
	Welsh folklore, better known as Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend. 
	
	This project is hosted by Carmarthenshire County Council. One of the Council’s obligations is to encourage access
	 to the countryside and to maintain areas of the countryside, footpaths and country parks.
	The group leaders for the project will be MTVs (medium term volunteers) who will be staying in Carmarthenshire for 
	around four months and assisting with several international projects. 
	
	Volunteers will carry out practical environmental tasks alongside professional contractors. Most of the work will 
	involve making improvements to public access in the park (i.e. improving and developing footpaths), creating 
	picnic areas and information points, and also clearing scrub for reforestation. The work will be physical, outdoors 
	and may be in unpleasant conditions such as rain, wind and mud (even in summer). There will be full days of work 
	(09.00-17.00) so volunteers may become tired and sore, and should be prepared to work hard!
	The area volunteers will be working in is a site called Alltnant-y-ci. It is an old open cast mine that has now been 
	reclaimed as an environmental area for the local community. Volunteers will be helping to clear it create footpaths, 
	bridges and gazebos and also help build the mountain bike trail and bridleways. The site will also be used as a place
	 for exercise facilities for older people and people with disabilities and volunteers will be involved in the 
	construction of these facilities.
	
	Volunteers may also participate in some global education activities with children and young people in schools and 
	youth centres around Carmarthenshire. these activities will be informal sessions and will concentrate on volunteers
	 giving these young people some information about where they come from and running activities with them. 
	Volunteers might like to think about activities or games from their own countries that they might be able to 
	contribute to these sessions – for example a national dance, simple songs, children’s games, arts and crafts 
	activities etc. The group of MTVs (medium term volunteers) staying in Carmarthenshire will help to lead these 
	activities.
	
	The group will be living and working in a beautiful part of Wales where there are many hills, beaches and castles. 
	There will also be plenty of opportunities to hear Welsh being spoken as many local people have it as their first 
	language. Welsh is one of the oldest languages in Europe and belongs to the Celtic language tree. It is still spoken 
	by approximately 20% of the population.
	
	accommodation:
	The group will live in the Glanaman youth resource centre, staying in dormitory accommodation. The group will 
	cook for themselves in the kitchen in the centre. The centre also has two bathrooms, a washing machine, a pool 
	table and internet access. Glanaman itself is a small town but there is a post office, a couple of small shops and a
	 pub. 
	
	special remarks:
	Volunteers should bring strong steel toe capped boots for working, a waterproof jacket and trousers, as well as 
	plenty of warm clothing, since they will be working outside in all weather conditions. It is quite cold in Wales during 
	the winter – so please come prepared!
	Volunteers are also asked to be flexible with regards to the sort of work they do as some of the environmental 
	tasks may vary slightly from the initial project description

	The group leaders for the project will be MTVs (medium term volunteers) who will be staying in Carmarthenshire for 
	around four months and assisting with several international projects. 
	
	Volunteers will carry out practical environmental tasks alongside professional contractors. Most of the work will 
	involve making improvements to public access in the park (i.e. improving and developing footpaths), creating 
	picnic areas and information points, and also clearing scrub for reforestation. The work will be physical, outdoors 
	and may be in unpleasant conditions such as rain, wind and mud (even in summer). There will be full days of work 
	(09.00-17.00) so volunteers may become tired and sore, and should be prepared to work hard!
	The area volunteers will be working in is a site called Alltnant-y-ci. It is an old open cast mine that has now been 
	reclaimed as an environmental area for the local community. Volunteers will be helping to clear it create footpaths, 
	bridges and gazebos and also help build the mountain bike trail and bridleways. The site will also be used as a place
	 for exercise facilities for older people and people with disabilities and volunteers will be involved in the 
	construction of these facilities.
	
	Volunteers may also participate in some global education activities with children and young people in schools and 
	youth centres around Carmarthenshire. these activities will be informal sessions and will concentrate on volunteers
	 giving these young people some information about where they come from and running activities with them. 
	Volunteers might like to think about activities or games from their own countries that they might be able to 
	contribute to these sessions – for example a national dance, simple songs, children’s games, arts and crafts 
	activities etc. The group of MTVs (medium term volunteers) staying in Carmarthenshire will help to lead these 
	activities.
	
	The group will be living and working in a beautiful part of Wales where there are many hills, beaches and castles. 
	There will also be plenty of opportunities to hear Welsh being spoken as many local people have it as their first 
	language. Welsh is one of the oldest languages in Europe and belongs to the Celtic language tree. It is still spoken 
	by approximately 20% of the population.
	
	accommodation:
	The group will live in the Glanaman youth resource centre, staying in dormitory accommodation. The group will 
	cook for themselves in the kitchen in the centre. The centre also has two bathrooms, a washing machine, a pool 
	table and internet access. Glanaman itself is a small town but there is a post office, a couple of small shops and a
	 pub. 
	
	special remarks:
	Volunteers should bring strong steel toe capped boots for working, a waterproof jacket and trousers, as well as 
	plenty of warm clothing, since they will be working outside in all weather conditions. It is quite cold in Wales during 
	the winter – so please come prepared!
	Volunteers are also asked to be flexible with regards to the sort of work they do as some of the environmental 
	tasks may vary slightly from the initial project description.

	Work:This project will be working with a not for profit Circus based in Cardiff that funds its artistic objectives 
	through commercial activities. The volunteers will be joining the circus on part of their tour that goes through 
	England.
	
	The circus aim to produce through collaboration with experts from other fields, progressive and excellent mixed 
	media circus. It does this both with professional artists and through community projects, accessible to the wider 
	community throughout Wales, the UK and beyond.
	The organisation also provides workshops in circus skills for children, teenagers, adults and corporate clients. They
	  provide a variety of entertainers and performers for other events, including stilt walkers, acrobats, clowns, street 
	entertainers, fire jugglers and statues. They are an award-winning company with fourteen years experience of big 
	top tent touring throughout Wales, the UK and Europe and have an international reputation for innovative, exciting 
	and highly accessible circus theatre. They are the  only non animal touring circus based in Wales and their 
	performances include fusions of traditional circus skills and spectacle, with narrative drama, physical theatre, 
	dance, music, film and new technologies.
	
	In the first stage of the tour the circus will be going to Norwich and London. Four international volunteers will live 
	with the circus for one month, helping with a variety of practical tasks on the site such as; cooking, bar work, 
	stewarding before, during and after performances, selling merchandise, building tent and staging, publicity work 
	(i.e. flyers and posters). 
	Volunteers will work irregular hours, that will include evenings and weekends. Volunteers must be prepared to live as
	 a member of the circus group, to work the same, irregular hours, and to be prepared turn their hands at a number 
	of various tasks. There will not be a project leader with the group, but a member of the circus will be responsible for
	 the volunteers.
	
	Accommodation:The volunteers will be sleeping in tents.  Although this is an exciting project volunteers must be 
	aware that the circus lifestyle and camping for one month (despite it being the summer!) is not an easy option – 
	the weather can be bad! They will eat with the circus group, and be involved in the preparation of all meals. 
	
	Location: Norwich and London in England. the circus will be touring so there will be two locations. Volunteers will be 
	based at the camp site with the circus.
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at norwich train station
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers should bring sleeping bags, a waterproof jacket and trousers, as well as plenty of 
	warm clothing, especially for sleeping in, as the nights can get chilly. All volunteers must provide us with a 
	motivation letter with their application form (VEF). A sense of fun and adventure is essential for this project!
	Volunteers should also be aware that this project will be unlike any other workcamp they may have attended 
	previously. It is a small group of volunteers staying for a longer period of time, and there will be no project leader. 
	The idea is for volunteers to become fully immersed in circus life without any sense of their own separate group. 
	This project is the only one that UNA Exchange will be running outside of Wales, this is because the circus is a 
	Welsh organisation but volunteers will join them on their tour and so will be in England rather than Wales.

	participating alongside them, co-ordinating the free time programme, keeping a record of the budget, organising 
	domestic life and the group accommodation (e.g. organise rotas and shopping and other practical tasks as they 
	arise). 
	On arrival, the MTVs will participate in a training programme. This will cover leadership and practical environmental 
	skills, ideas for the global education work, health & safety and driving. It will also include an induction to the 
	programme and the area. 
	
	Accommodation:Volunteers will be provided with accommodation, shared as a group, in the community centre in 
	the small village of Glanaman. The accommodation is shared with the volunteer groups, but the MTVs will have

	They will do this in several ways.
	Firstly they will be the project leaders for international volunteer projects around Rhondda Cynon Taf and organised
	 by UNA Exchange. These projects will be varied in theme and work with different communities. Most will work with 
	children or on environmental issues. 
	Secondly they will be helping to co-ordinate different events around the local community which focus on 
	development issues. These will include delivering global awareness activities to young people, adults and mixed 
	age community groups, assisting in the co-ordination of a global family day and working with youth and adult 
	education leaders to develop materials that can be used on global education activities.
	Accommodation: Accommodation is still to be finalised but will probably be in a shared house near the work place.
	Location: Working in various places around Rhondda Cynon Taf in South Wales.Rhondda Cynon Taf is part of the 
	Welsh valleys and was at the heart of Wales’ industrial coal mining past. There are several interesting museums 
	that document this in the local area. Due to the large scale unemployment that happened after the coal mines had 
	closed it is also one of the poorer part of Wales. However it is also a place with welcoming communities and 
	surrounded by some lovely countryside. It is about half an hour's drive away from the Welsh capital of cardiff.
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Cardiff train or bus station
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers must be  21 years old or over, have some previous experience of working with 
	community, youth or schools groups, experience of leading activities and a good understanding of global and 
	development issues. Volunteers must be able to communicate well in English, be confident to lead groups and 
	motivate others, capable of teamwork and to live as part of a group, enjoy outdoor physical work, be happy to live
	 in a small communities, be energetic, flexible and have lots of initiative! 
	Pocket money, food and accommodation will be provided. There will also be initial training at the start of the 
	project. There is a special application for this project which can be obtained from Katy Chadwick at UNA Exchange

	Work: Volunteers will be working at the Bryn Celynnog School in the small town of Beddau in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
	
	Beddau school works with a wide range of children and includes a centre for children with special needs. The age 
	range at the school is 11 – 18 years old. The school works hard to promote the ideas of sustainability and has 
	achieved  3 ‘eco schools flags’. The volunteer project will be part of helping them promote the ideas of 
	sustainability and will also go towards developing their ‘global citizenship’ programme – introducing young people to 
	other parts of the world and looking at connections between different parts of the world.
	Volunteers will be helping with a variety of tasks within the school which will include
	·	Helping to create an outdoor classroom within the school nature reserve
	·	To interact with some of the autistic children basde at a special centre within the school
	·	To work with children in the school and prepare some educational sessions to explain about the countries and 
	cultures that the volunteers come from
	
	Volunteers will also join in with various informal activities involving people from the local community. They might 
	for example participate with one of the sports clubs or community evenings might be arranged such as a barbeque 
	with the local youth club.

	 
	Accommodation:Volunteers will be staying with teachers in their homes, and therefore will be working and spending 
	social time as a group but staying in different accommodation. All food will be provided 
	
	Location: The small town of beddau in Rhondda Cynon Taf.In their spare time volunteers will have the opportunity 
	to explore the surrounding area. The project is based in the valleys of South Wales, famous for in the past being 
	the centre of the Welsh coal industry, and there are some interesting museums in the nearby area which explain 
	the history of this. However it is also a place well situated to enjoy the countryside with walking and cycling 
	opportunities nearby. The project is also fairly close (less than an hour away) to the city of Cardiff.
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Cardiff train/bus station
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers should have good spoken English in order to be able to work well with the children.
	
	A police check (certificate of good conduct) and motivation letter will be required and volunteers should think about 
	games and activities they could run with children at the school to help with informing children about their culture 
	and country.

	UNAS06, Celtic Woodlands, Rhydlewis in Ceredigion, 23.06.08 - 11.07.08, Envi, 10
	
	Work:Pen-yr-Allt is a not for profit community group, set up to manage and care for 19 acres of woodland in 
	Nanternis, Ceredigion, and to ensure that the local community are able to use the woodland and take ownership of 
	its space. In recent years the group has run a number of projects within the woodland working with various groups 
	including people with mental health issues, children and young people, outreach work in local youth Clubs/centres 
	and as hosts for a European Voluntary service short term exchange programme.
	Volunteers will be helping to finish the work started last summer by a group of volunteers on a Celtic roundhouse, 
	which includes 2 small rooms, 1 large room and an art cafй. The work will involve cobbing using traditional building 
	materials of logs, clay and straw. 
	The second phase of the project will involve working on the construction of a woodland sauna and plunge pool.
	There may also be some work done on the surrounding footpaths on the nature trails.
	There will also be some time during the project to learn creative skills, hopefully involving art workshops, traditional
	 crafts and musical instruments.
	In their free time volunteers will be able to explore nearby beaches. From the wood there is a path that leads 
	through the woodland to a local beach. There are some small towns fairly close by – Newquay – a popular coastal 
	resort, the pretty town of Llangranog and the market town of Cardigan. There is also a Wildlife/Wetlands Reserve 
	close by, near the mouth of the river Teifi.
	On some evenings there will be camp fires and music and games. Members of the local community and people 
	who regularly use the woodland will hopefully participate in these evenings with the volunteers.
	The roundhouse itself makes a lovely communal space in the evenings.
	
	Accommodation:Volunteers should be prepared for basic conditions on this project. Accommodation will be in tents 
	and geodomes. There is a kitchen with a gas stove for cooking, and also a camp fire and large barbeque. The 
	shower is solar powered and there is also the river to wash in(!). It’s also possible to use the washing machine at 
	the host’s home.
	If the weather is very bad then there will be possible accommodation at the host’s own home – however this is only
	 an emergency plan so volunteers should come prepared to camp for the duration of the project.

	Location: near the small village of Rhydlewis in Ceredigion. The woodland is quite remote and volunteers should be 
	prepared that they may not have access to shops and there is no mobile phone reception!Although Ceredigion is 
	one of Wales’ largest counties, it is also one of the least populated. It is home to some beautiful coastal and 
	countryside scenery, and contains several national nature reserves. 
	Volunteers will be working in Graybeard’s Wood and Pen-yr-Allt woodland, near to the village of Rhydlewis and 
	close to local beaches.
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Carmarthen train station
	
	Special requirements: Volunteers must bring sleeping bags and mats, and lots of warm and waterproof clothing (the
	 weather in Wales is always unpredictable!) It is also a good idea to bring things for swimming at the nearby beach.
	 Volunteers must be prepared for basic accommodation and facilities.

	UNAS07, Sir Gar 1, Carmarthenshire, 27.06.08 - 11.07.08, Envi, 9
	
	Work:This project is hosted by Carmarthenshire County Council. One of the Council’s obligations is to encourage 
	access to the countryside and to maintain areas of the countryside, footpaths and country parks. 
	
	Volunteers will carry out practical environmental tasks alongside professional contractors. Most of the work will 
	involve making improvements to public access in the park (i.e. improving and developing footpaths), creating 
	picnic areas and information points, and also clearing scrub for reforestation. The work will be physical, outdoors 
	and may be in unpleasant conditions such as rain, wind and mud (even in summer). There will be full days of work 
	(09.00-17.00) so volunteers may become tired and sore, and should be prepared to work hard.
	
	Volunteers may also participate in some global education activities with children and young people in schools and 
	youth centres around Carmarthenshire. these activities will be informal sessions and will concentrate on volunteers
	 giving these young people some information about where they come from and running activities with them. 
	Volunteers might like to think about activities or games from their own countries that they might be able to 
	contribute to these sessions – for example a national dance, simple songs, children’s games, arts and crafts 
	activities etc. The group of MTVs (medium term volunteers) staying in Carmarthenshire will help to lead these 
	activities.
	
	Accommodation:The group will live in the Glanaman youth resource centre, staying in dormitory accommodation. 
	The group will cook for themselves in the kitchen in the centre. The centre also has two bathrooms, a washing 
	machine, a pool table and internet access.
	
	Location:in the small village of Glanaman in Carmarthenshire. Carmarthenshire is known as ‘The Garden of Wales’ 
	for its beautiful countryside, which reaches from the rugged coastline of Carmarthenshire Bay in the south, to the 
	Black Mountain region of the Brecon Beacons in the east and the gentle hills of Pembroke to the West. Caerfyrddin
	 (or Carmarthen, in English) is the county’s largest town, and the legendary birthplace of Myrddin, the wise 
	magician of Welsh folklore, better known as Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend. 
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Llanelli bus/train station
	
	Special requirements: Volunteers should bring sleeping bags, strong boots with steel toe caps for working, a 
	waterproof jacket and trousers, as well as plenty of warm clothing, since they will be working outside in all weather 
	conditions. The project will be led by a group of international MTVs (Medium-Term Volunteers) who will live at the

	UNAS08, Global gardens, 30.06.08 - 18.07.08, Envi/Kids, 10
	
	Work:The host organisation, Science Shop Wales, is based at the university of Glamorgan and run in partnership 
	with the university of Wales, Newport. The organisation aims to mobilise the expertise of students and staff at the 
	university in order to help address issues faced by the local community, particularly focusing on the Heads of the 
	valleys region where communities are particularly disadvantaged. Science shop tackles all areas of activity with a 
	specific focus on sustainable development.
	Volunteers will be joining in with several projects that science shop Wales are involved with. 
	The first part of the project will be based at the GROW project in Trefforest. This is a project that aims to provide 
	wholesome food for the local community using sustainable methods. Volunteers will help to look after and improve 
	the site and participate in organic vegetable gardening. Next to the GROW site there is a site in the beginning 
	stages of becoming a ‘forest school’ – a space where children from local schools will be able to learn about 
	biodiversity and nature conservation. Volunteers will be involved in helping on the site with various tasks such as 
	clearing the site and helping with the building.
	The second part of the project will be helping to support the ‘Ecojunction’ project at Edwardsville Primary school. 
	This is a joint school-community initiative working towards improving the environmental sustainability of the area. 
	Volunteers will be participating in various aspects of this project which will include forest school work, nature 
	conservation, organic gardening and sustainable building initiatives. Volunteers will also be asked to participate in 
	some ‘global citizenship’ activities with the children at the school and should come prepared to share things about 
	their culture and with ideas for games and activities.
	There will at some point during the project be an organised trip to the Wales Indoor Climbing centre which is walking 
	distance from the accommodation. Volunteers will also be taken on another trip to explore the heritage of the area.

	Accommodation: The group will be based at the ‘Treharris boys and girls club’ in dormitory accommodation. 
	Breakfast will be provided and volunteers will be responsible for cooking their other meals as a group. There will be 
	cooking facilities at the accommodation for this.
	There are also some leisure facilities available such as table tennis and a pool table.
	
	Location:The project will be based in the small town of Trefforest in Rhondda Cynon Taff, a university town in the 
	valleys of South Wales.
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Quakers Yard railway station. They will probably need to get to Cardiff first and 
	then take a train there.
	
	Special requirements:A certificate of good conduct and motivation letter will be required and volunteers should think
	 about games and activities they could run with children at the school to help with informing children about their 
	culture and country.
	Volunteers should also bring waterproofs, warm clothes and strong working boots for the environmental work.

	UNAS09, Afan Forest, Neath Port Talbot, 05.07.08 - 19.07.08, Envi, 10
	
	Work:To many people the county of Neath & Port Talbot is associated with the steel industry but in fact it is a 
	beautiful area with valleys running down from the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Neath Valley is one of these 
	and has many spectacular waterfalls, forests and hills. There is also a wide variety of wild life and it is not 
	uncommon to see deer and rare birds. UNA Exchange has been working with local rangers for more than 15 years 
	and has helped to improve access to many of the region’s important sites. In the past, groups have worked along 
	a historic canal creating paths to encourage people to use the site for walks and recreation, and also worked on one
	 of the country’s largest mountain biking trails. The area is now known as one of the best places in the UK for 
	mountain biking.
	
	This year volunteers will be working in the Craeg Gwladis Woods in the Neath Valley, and the work will involve 
	improving access, i.e. working on rights of way and, some Woodland Management work. The work may involve 
	clearing vegetation, using hand tools, and levelling the ground. The project participants, on some days will be 
	working with members of the local community who have formed a group called the Friends of Craeg Gwladis. There
	 will also be the Afan Forest training team and at least one ranger working with the group. 
	Work will of course be outdoors, possibly in wet cold weather or hot sun. The group will work from 9.30am – 
	4.30pm, five days a week and will have the weekends off to enjoy the local area.
	
	Accommodation:The group will be based at the Cross Community Centre in the centre of Pontardawe. The centre 
	has a kitchen, and bathrooms; showers are provided at the swimming pool nearby, so volunteers must be prepared
	 to be flexible in this regard. Volunteers will sleep on mats on the floor and must bring their own sleeping bag.
	
	Location: In Pontardawe and the Afan Forest, close to the town of Neath and about half an hours drive from the 
	city of Swansea.
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Neath Railway station. they will probably need to change trains in Cardiff
	
	Special requirements: The work will be outdoors in all kinds of weather, and volunteers are reminded that even in 
	summer, Welsh weather can be cold and very wet. Participants must be prepared and motivated for physically 
	demanding work, and to bring hard wearing clothes, good, sturdy  steel toe-capped boots, waterproof jackets and 
	trousers as well as plenty of warm clothing. They should also bring a sleeping bag.

	Work:This is a community based organisation developing a new environmental and cultural study centre on a 23 
	acre farm. It works with volunteers, schools and partner organisations on practical land based projects. It describes
	 itself as a community based venture for people of all ages and backgrounds, with special emphasis on providing 
	holistic learning and training opportunities for young people. The aim is to create a community resource that 
	explores how we can introduce the ideas of sustainability into our work and daily lives, and learn to live more 
	harmoniously with our environment.
	
	Volunteers will be helping with a variety of tasks. These will include helping with the construction of different eco- 
	buildings around the site such as the roundhouse and the barn and working in the organic community garden. Tasks
	 may include dry stone walling, landscaping, and building with wood, stone, clay and earth
	Obviously not all of these projects will be completed over one project, so volunteers should come prepared to be a 
	little flexible and keeping in mind that a lot of activities might be weather dependent!
	Work can be tiring and physically demanding so volunteers are asked to come prepared to work hard and with 
	suitable clothes for all weathers – including good working boots.
	
	Accommodation:The volunteers will be camping on the farm with separate tents available for male and female 
	volunteers. Facilities such as bathroom, kitchen and social area will be available in the farm house. The farm 
	house will also act as emergency accommodation should the weather get too bad for camping. However volunteers
	 should come prepared to camp for the full two weeks. The group will cook for themselves in the kitchen in the 
	farm house, probably using many of the organic vegetables produced in the project’s organic garden.
	
	Location:The project is in the beautiful Llyn Peninsula in North West Wales. It has nearly a hundred miles of 
	wonderful coastline and is within sight of the Snowdonia mountain range. It is also very rich culturally with over 
	80% of its residents speaking Welsh. 
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Pwlhelli train station
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers should have an interest in environmental issues and sustainability. The work may 
	be quite physical so volunteers should be reasonably fit and healthy and volunteers will work on average 8 hours 
	per day. They should bring sleeping bags, strong boots for working, a waterproof jacket and trousers as well as 
	plenty of warm clothing.

	miles away from the village of Tregaron. The Cors caron Nature Reserve is home to a raised bog system 
	containing a variety of plants. It is also home to birds such as the red kite. The work will be to make improvements
	 to the reserve and infrastructure to encourage more visitors to the area. Tasks may include things such as dry 
	stone walling, installing gates and constructing picnic benches.
	The second week will be spent working in the nearby community of Pontrhydfendigaid. Work will include some 
	landscaping around the Pafilwn where volunteers will actually be staying, and various other tasks around the 
	community which will be finalised nearer to the project and explained to the volunteers when they arrive.
	Work will be outdoors and physical so volunteers should come prepared for all weather and willing to participate in 
	physical construction work.
	
	Accommodation:Accommodation for the project will be in the ‘Pafiliwn Bont’ – a community building in the town of 
	Pontrhydfendigaid. Volunteers will sleep on mattresses on the floor and there is a kitchen and showers in the 
	building. It is a large space sometimes used for concerts and other community events so volunteers will have 
	plenty of space for social activities and may be able to attend any community events that happen whilst they are 
	staying.

	Work:The project will take place on an old farm purchased by the Bryn Mawr heritage trust. The trust are working to
	 restore the farm back to how it might have looked in medieval times based on plans of the farm found in the local
	 area. 
	The trust was set up in 2006 to purchase a lease on 78 acres of medieval farmland. They aim to preserve and 
	restore the historic landscape and traditional farmstead of Bryn Mawr. They also aim to promote local medieval 
	history, traditional agricultural skills and buildings, to promote understanding of early crafts, arts and technology 
	and to create an open air living museum for local, national and international members, visitors, schools and 
	students.
	The volunteers will be assisting with restoring the farm. This will include dry stone walling, traditional building, 
	fencing and farming and agriculture.
	There are plenty of activities planned for during the project, with guided walks around the hills and mountains of the
	 local area looking at the landscape, wildlife and ancient monuments. The group will also be taken to the local town 
	of Welshpool which has a castle, museum and canal to explore. There is also the possibility of visiting the centre 
	for alternative technology which is based near the town of Machynlleth.
	
	Accommodation:The group will be  camping at the farm so should be aware that facilities will be quite basic! There 
	will be male and female tents, a kitchen and cooking area and dry spaces for volunteers to spend social time.

	Work:For over twenty years a group of local people from Trealaw have been organising a summer playscheme, 
	offering children activities in their summer holidays at the community centre: Maes Yr Haf. Throughout the years 
	international volunteers have been involved, giving the children another reason to look forward to it. 
	
	The playscheme offers activities for around 100 children aged between 5 and 14; it is run for five hours a day, on 
	an informal basis with many activities happening at once such as games, art, craft and sports. Obviously a group 
	of this many children require supervision! The programme is organised by paid staff that oversee the whole 
	scheme. The volunteers are there to assist the staff and help to make sure that the children are safe and have 
	lots of activities to enjoy. 
	
	For the children this is the perfect opportunity to learn about the different countries that the volunteers come from,
	 so it is good if volunteers bring ideas about games, songs and activities from their country. It is also important 
	that volunteers can communicate well in English and have the motivation and energy for working with children. 
	
	Accommodation:The group will be based at Maes Yr Haf Community Centre where the playscheme is also based. 
	The centre has a kitchen, washroom and shower and is in the centre of Trealaw. Volunteers will sleep on mats on 
	the floor and will need to bring their own sleeping bag.
	
	Location:In the village of Trealaw in rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales.Rhondda Cynon Taff is traditionally an 
	industrial area which has suffered as a result of the decline of mining and heavy industry. The county’s small 
	towns and villages, like Trealaw, run up and down the narrow valleys, and are made up of long chains of terraced 
	houses. 
	
	Terminal: Dinas Rhondda Train Station. Volunteers will probably have to come through Cardiff to access this.
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers must have a good working knowledge of English 
	Volunteers will also need to provide a certificate of good conduct and a motivation letter.
	Volunteers will need to bring a sleeping bag, mat and clothes suitable for working with children and for wet weather!

	Work:The project will be based in the Ystradgynlais Community centre. Volunteers will be helping with general tasks
	 around the community centre and in the local area to help improve the local area for all who live there. Tasks may
	 include assisting with the building of footpaths around the community centre and in the local area, painting murals 
	and there is a possibility of doing some work within the Brecon Beacons National Park. Volunteers will work 
	outdoors in all weather, for five full days a week. Volunteers will work at many different locations, the work varying
	 much from day to day, so they must be flexible in this regard.
	
	The Youth Service and local people promise a warm welcome and there will be various social activities, including 
	caving, hill walking and visits to local sites and towns. There will be a chance to take advantage of the wide range 
	of sporting, leisure and cultural facilities in the area, and plenty of chances to see more of South and Mid Wales.
	
	The group will be living with the volunteers from Ystradgynlais Kids (who will be working with the summer 
	playscheme at the youth centre), and will be able to socialise together at the end of each working day and at the 
	weekends.
	
	Accommodation:The volunteers will stay in the Youth Centre. They will sleep together in one room on inflatable 
	mattresses. The centre is well equipped with cooking and washing facilities. The volunteers will have access to a 
	sports hall, football pitch and ping pong tables. The group will cook for themselves in a large kitchen.
	 
	Location:The group will be based in Ystradgynlais,  a small town that lies in the upper reaches of the Tawe Valley, 
	about 16 miles from Swansea and on the edge of the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park. It is close to natural 
	attractions such as Henrhyd Waterfalls and of course the mountainous Beacons, as well as the City of Swansea 
	and other larger settlements. The Welsh language and culture are still strong in the area, and give a unique flavour 
	to the local social life. 
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Neath railway station. They will probably have to go through Cardiff to get there.
	
	Special requirements:This project will involve physically demanding work, so volunteers must be well motivated to 
	work in difficult conditions. They must bring steel toe-capped boots, hardwearing work clothes, waterproof jackets 
	and trousers and plenty of warm clothing. They will also need a sleeping bag.

	UNAS17, Flat Holme Island, near Cardiff, 26.07.08 - 09.08.08, Envi, 4
	
	Work:Flat Holme Island is a nature reserve and site of special scientific interest. The island is home to a breeding 
	gull colony of around 3,732 pairs and many other species of birds. It also has areas of maritime grassland home to
	 rare and unusual plants. There are also historic buildings preserved on the island including the old lighthouse and 
	cholera hospital!
	The island is committed to providing educational resources for local schools and community groups.
	Over the project the group will be helping with a variety of tasks on the island and working with other volunteers 
	who are resident on the island. 
	Work will include 
	·	Helping with environmental education - with the educational tours, helping in the shop and helping deliver 
	activities for visiting schools. 
	·	Assisting with habitat management – strimming and raking, vegetation clearance and removal and gardening. 
	·	Maintenance of the island – dry stone walling and basic DIY and painting. 
	
	There are a variety of tasks on the island and volunteers are asked to flexible in the work that they do and to 
	come expecting many different possibilities! The work will also be mainly outdoors so volunteers should come 
	suitably prepared with warm and waterproof clothing and steel toe capped working boots.
	Despite being only 5 miles from Cardiff there are very infrequent boats to and from the island. The group must 
	therefore expect to be on the island for the duration of the two week project. It is a small island so at times this 
	may feel very isolated and possibly a bit claustrophobic! The group will have to create its own evening activities 
	and so volunteers may like to come prepared with cards, music, books, ideas for games etc. There will also be 
	other volunteers on the island apart from the international group who volunteers can socialise with in the evenings.

	Accommodation:The group will stay in dormitory accommodation on the island and volunteers will share the same 
	dormitory space. There are basic kitchen and shower facilities and the group will cook their meals together. 
	Volunteers should bring a sleeping bag but pillows, sheets etc will be provided.
	There is also a pool table and table tennis at the accommodation that can be used by the volunteers.
	
	Location:Flat Holme Island is located away from the mainland of Wales,  5 miles from the Welsh capital of 
	Cardiff. Ther are infrequent boats to the island so it is quite isolated
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Cardiff train station
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers should come prepared to entertain themselves in the evenings and for the fact 
	that this project is quite isolated. They should bring warm and waterproof clothing and steel toe capped working

	UNAS18, Sir Gar 3, Carmarthenshire, 30.07.08 - 13.08.08,Envi, 9
	
	Work:This project is hosted by Carmarthenshire County Council. One of the Council’s obligations is to encourage 
	access to the countryside and to maintain areas of the countryside, footpaths and country parks. 
	
	Volunteers will carry out practical environmental tasks alongside professional contractors. Most of the work will 
	involve making improvements to public access in the park (i.e. improving and developing footpaths), creating 
	picnic areas and information points, and also clearing scrub for reforestation. The work will be physical, outdoors 
	and may be in unpleasant conditions such as rain, wind and mud (even in summer). There will be full days of work 
	(09.00-17.00) so volunteers may become tired and sore, and should be prepared to work hard.
	
	Volunteers may also participate in some global education activities with children and young people in schools and 
	youth centres around Carmarthenshire. these activities will be informal sessions and will concentrate on volunteers
	 giving these young people some information about where they come from and running activities with them. 
	Volunteers might like to think about activities or games from their own countries that they might be able to 
	contribute to these sessions – for example a national dance, simple songs, children’s games, arts and crafts 
	activities etc. The group of MTVs (medium term volunteers) staying in Carmarthenshire will help to lead these 
	activities.
	
	Accommodation:The group will live in the Glanaman youth resource centre, staying in dormitory accommodation. 
	The group will cook for themselves in the kitchen in the centre. The centre also has two bathrooms, a washing 
	machine, a pool table and internet access.
	
	Location:in the small village of Glanaman in Carmarthenshire. Carmarthenshire is known as ‘The Garden of Wales’ 
	for its beautiful countryside, which reaches from the rugged coastline of Carmarthenshire Bay in the south, to the 
	Black Mountain region of the Brecon Beacons in the east and the gentle hills of Pembroke to the West. Caerfyrddin
	 (or Carmarthen, in English) is the county’s largest town, and the legendary birthplace of Myrddin, the wise 
	magician of Welsh folklore, better known as Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend. 
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Llanelli bus/train station
	
	Special requirements: Volunteers should bring sleeping bags, strong boots with steel toe caps for working, a 
	waterproof jacket and trousers, as well as plenty of warm clothing, since they will be working outside in all weather 
	conditions. The project will be led by a group of international MTVs (Medium-Term Volunteers) who will live at the

	UNAS19, Penrhys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, 07.08.08 - 21.08.08, Kids, 10
	
	Work:Penrhys, the highest village in Wales, was built in the 1960s, and more unusually, designed on an Italian hill-
	village. More recently Penrhys has unfortunately been known more for some of the problems it has experienced 
	related to unemployment and other social difficulties. But if you look beyond the buildings and statistics you can 
	see a welcoming community with plenty of activity, including the Penrhys Partnership and Village Centre, 
	developed during the early 1990s.
	
	Over the last ten years, the Penrhys Partnership has worked towards creating a basic social infrastructure for the 
	community, and provided a variety of opportunities for individuals and groups within the community.  The 
	Partnership’s priority is ‘enabling Penrhys to become a community to which people wish to belong’.
	
	This year volunteers will work on various activities offered to children and young people by the Partnership, 
	including arts and crafts, outdoor activities, environmental projects and music workshops. The activities will aim to 
	offer an informal place for children to come and try different activities and express their creativity! The project will
	 be run by paid staff, and the international volunteers will be there to assist the staff and help ensure that the 
	activities are safe and stimulating for children. Volunteers also bring an intercultural element to the activities, 
	offering local people a chance to learn about different cultures and places. 
	
	On the weekends, volunteers will be free to explore the surrounding countryside and enjoy its striking views as well
	 as the many interesting historical sites in the area. However, Penrhys is an isolated community on the top of a 
	steep hill, and volunteers must be prepared to be imaginative and entertain themselves in the evenings. 
	
	Accommodation:The group will be based in the community centre where the playscheme is also based. It is a big 
	building in the centre of Penrhys and has a kitchen, washrooms and showers. The accommodation is quite basic. 
	There are three separate sleeping areas.
	
	Location: The project is based in the village of Penrhys in the Rhondda valleys, about half an hour's drive from the
	 city of Cardiff. The Rhondda is the most famous of the Welsh Valleys and stretches for 16 miles but is never 
	more than a mile wide. In the past, it was the heart of the massive South Wales coal industry which at its peak 
	provided around one third of the entire world’s consumption. However, the last Rhondda coal pit closed in 1989 
	leaving behind a legacy of extraordinarily high unemployment and severe environmental scars on the surrounding 
	countryside, but it remains one of the warmest, friendliest communities in Britain, despite the social problems that 
	came in the wake of the collapse of the coal industry.   
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Ystrad Rhondda train station. They will probably have to travel through Cardiff.
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers must have good English.  Large groups of children will be involved every day so it
	 is important that volunteers have the energy and motivation for this type of work and like working with children. 
	Volunteers should also think about games, activities, songs etc from their own countries they could share with the 
	children.
	 A police check (certificate of good conduct) and motivation letter will be required. Volunteers should bring sleeping 
	bags and mats.

	UNAS20, Amelia Trust Farm, Vale of Glamorgan, 10.08.08 - 22.08.08, envi, 10
	
	Work:The Amelia Trust Farm is a charitable trust that was set up in 1991 to enable all kinds of people, young and 
	old, to enjoy nature and learn about conservation, animals, rural crafts and the countryside in general. Everyday 
	there are groups and individuals who come to the farm and use the facilities and benefit from this ‘hands-on’ 
	opportunity. Many who use the facilities of the farm face difficult situations at home, or are unemployed, or have 
	some kind of special need. The space, peace and the contact with animals are used as vehicles to build up 
	people’s confidence and self-esteem and it’s good to see how many young people in particular have felt better able
	 to cope as a result of their time at the farm.  
	
	UNA Exchange volunteers have been involved with the farm for about ten years and UNA Exchange also runs 
	training courses at the Farm.
	
	Part of the farm is woodland and it is here that the volunteers will be working. They will be helping to refurbish one 
	of the woodland paths that forms part of a riverside walk  that goes through Ash and Oak woodlands. Work will be 
	physical and outdoors, possibly in rain, so volunteers should come prepared for this with warm and waterproof 
	clothes and strong boots.
	
	Accommodation:The Amelia Trust Farm has an excellent hostel where the group will stay. It is comfortable 
	accommodation with showers, a kitchen and common room. Some of the other facilities of the Farm will also be 
	available for the group to use.
	
	Location:The nearest town to the Farm is Barry, which is not far from Cardiff so there will be opportunities to enjoy
	 the city sights and life; there are also beautiful beaches, hills and castles nearby. 
	
	Terminal: Volunteers will meet at Cardiff train station
	
	Special requirements:Volunteers should be prepared to work in wind and rain, or hot sun. Waterproof and warm 
	clothes and strong leather boots are essential. All volunteers will have to submit a Certificate of Good Conduct 
	before having a place confirmed as the farm also works with young people.

	UNAS21, The Bell Centre, Rhondda Cynon Taf, 16.08.08 - 30.08.08, Kids, 5
	
	Work: The Blaenllechau Community Regeneration programme was initiated by a group of villagers, who in 1993 got
	 together to try and tackle the problems faced by their community by providing opportunities for local people to 
	improve their educational, social, cultural, environmental and economic prospects. In 1996, having found their own 
	funding, they opened the BELL Centre (Blaenllechau Enterprise for Life-Long Learning). It is a three floor purpose-
	built premises, which has exceeded all expectations. The Centre hosts a variety of courses, social functions, a 
	community cafй, and a full-time nursery and crиche and has become the heart of a thriving community.
	
	Volunteers will work on a two week holiday playscheme, run by paid Youth Workers from the Centre. They will work
	 during the day, from 10am-4pm with children aged between 5 and 12 years of age, organising activities such as 
	games, crafts and music. There will also be an opportunity to work with older children and young people from the 
	community, aged between 8 and 25, who come to the Youth Drop-In Centre for games, sports, arts and music 
	workshops, two evenings a week. The group will also have the option to participate in other community activities 
	run at the centre.
	
	In their free time, the volunteers will be able to explore the surrounding area, with its natural beauty, and many 
	sites of historical interest. The village itself has only a few shops, post office and pub, but is well located for those
	 who enjoy hill walking and cycling. There will also be the opportunity to visit Cardiff, which is 1.5 hours away by 
	bus. 
	
	Accommodation:Volunteers will be staying at the Drop In Centre (a community building), sleeping on air beds on 
	the floor. Volunteers will cook for themselves and cooking and washing facilities are provided. They should bring 
	their own sleeping bags, and ground mats  and expect it to be very basic.   
	
	Location:The project is based in the village of Blaenllechau which is situated in the Upper Rhondda Valley in South 
	Wales and about half an hour's drive from Cardiff.  The Rhondda is the most famous of the Welsh Valleys and 
	stretches for 16 miles but is never more than a mile wide. In the past, it was the heart of the massive South Wales

	Work:This project is hosted by Carmarthenshire County Council. One of the Council’s obligations is to encourage 
	access to the countryside and to maintain areas of the countryside, footpaths and country parks. 
	
	Volunteers will carry out practical environmental tasks alongside professional contractors. Most of the work will 
	involve making improvements to public access in the park (i.e. improving and developing footpaths), creating 
	picnic areas and information points, and also clearing scrub for reforestation. The work will be physical, outdoors 
	and may be in unpleasant conditions such as rain, wind and mud (even in summer). There will be full days of work 
	(09.00-17.00) so volunteers may become tired and sore, and should be prepared to work hard.
	
	Volunteers may also participate in some global education activities with children and young people in schools and 
	youth centres around Carmarthenshire. these activities will be informal sessions and will concentrate on volunteers
	 giving these young people some information about where they come from and running activities with them. 
	Volunteers might like to think about activities or games from their own countries that they might be able to 
	contribute to these sessions – for example a national dance, simple songs, children’s games, arts and crafts 
	activities etc. The group of MTVs (medium term volunteers) staying in Carmarthenshire will help to lead these 
	activities.
	
	Accommodation:The group will live in the Glanaman youth resource centre, staying in dormitory accommodation. 
	The group will cook for themselves in the kitchen in the centre. The centre also has two bathrooms, a washing 
	machine, a pool table and internet access.
