Thank you to Katie of Torfaen Voluntary Alliance (TVA) for joining us at our recent Men’s Talk session.

It was fantastic to have you share your expertise and highlight the diverse range of volunteering opportunities available right here in Torfaen. Whether it's giving back, learning new skills, or simply finding a sense of purpose, your talk made it clear just how much of an impact we can all make locally.

"Volunteering isn't just about giving time; it's about building a stronger, more connected community."

Men’s Talk is every Wednesday at the Powerstation – get in touch for more information about attending.
