We provide advice, information and support to the third sector in Carmarthenshire, and offer membership to groups wishing to join the association. We help with setting up and running groups legally, and keep groups up to date with legislation and current issues affecting the third sector. We support voluntary work, aim to raise standards for volunteers and promote good practice, helping groups to develop policies. We match local volunteering opportunities with prospective volunteers.
