Carmarthenshire Business in Community launch
Business in the Community’s (BITC) South and West Wales ProHelp Network was officially launched at the CAVS AGM held at Pontyberem Hall to provide advice and support free of charge to community and voluntary organisations in their local area.
Established in 1989, ProHelp is a UK network of over 600 professionals, from large corporate to SMEs including solicitors, accountants, architects, building surveyors.
In Wales ProHelp operates across Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire.
BITC’s West Wales Co-ordinator, Catherine Palmer will be working closely with local agencies such as CAVS and the South West Wales ProHelp Network will complement the Skills Lending programme recently piloted by Giving Sir Gâr.
Peter Loughran, chair of Giving Sir Gâr, said “A number of voluntary groups have benefitted from the expertise of staff from some of the leading companies in the county.”
The recent Giving Sir Gâr grant scheme is designed to encourage voluntary groups to develop links with business with a view to skills sharing, employee volunteering and other joint initiatives. The next round of the grant scheme will be held towards the end of March.
