Dinas Powys community centre seeks volunteers - 15/12/06

 

Volunteers are needed to help with the running of a busy Dinas Powys community centre.

 

Although the Murchfield Community Association has a minutes secretary, the need to recruit a general secretary is high on their agenda.

 

Anyone interested in offering their services in a voluntary role - committee meetints are held every other month - will be welcome at the association's annual general meeting on Monday, January 8, at 7pm.

 

The meeting offers a chance for interested people to hear about events of the past year and what is planned for the future.

 

A wide variety of weekly activities at the Sunnycroft Lane centre include youth club, childminding group, adult education classes, keep fit, dancing, Senior Citizens' club, badminton and football.

 

The centre is also home to Dinas Powys Voluntary Concern who provide a variety of services for the local community particularly the elderly.

 

Urging local people to get involved with the centre, Vale of Glamorgan Council community development officer Siân Vaughan said: “The committee look forward to meeting some new faces so I would urge anyone interested to go along on January 8, enjoy some refreshments and make a new start.

 

"Don’t forget that there are other community centres in the Vale who are equally as keen to meet interested volunteers.”

 

For further information on community centres in the Vale, contact Siân on (01446) 704828 or visit www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk.
