Willing, able, and without expectation – this is the code of the volunteer.
Two of the positions I took up this year fulfilled the brief.
Contributor for the Ysgol Gymraeg Melin Grufydd Bike Bus.
Volunteer Coach with Llandaff Cricket Club.
However, the age group coach with Crocs Cymru didn’t, as my youngest plays for the team.
The Nolan Principles of Public Life, suggests we declare and resolve conflicts of interest. With £430 million in volunteering hours coming into Wales each year, I’m still of the opinion that coaching your own kids is a conflict of interest that needs resolving.
