Volunteer
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, use existing skills, gain experience in our community and have fun. The act of helping others can provide a sense of belonging, purpose and satisfaction and has been proven to increase your own health and wellbeing.
An award-winning volunteer team
Rainbow Volunteers Rod and Ali are recognised as the heroes they are
Two of our volunteers Rod and Ali have been awarded the Later Life Hero award from Age Connects North East Wales.
The award is in recognition for their work with The Rainbow Foundation Lunch Clubs, Meals on Wheels, Befriending and all the support they gave people during the height of the pandemic.
A massive well done to them both for this well deserved recognition.
Rainbow volunteers receives recognition from the High Sheriff of Clwyd
In 2022 our Rainbow volunteers were awarded with a High Sheriff of Clwyd Community Award in recognition of the vital work they selflessly carried out during the pandemic to support the communities around in and around Penley.
The High Sheriff said: “It was such a pleasure to meet you at the High Sheriff Community Awards to learn more about the amazing volunteering work which you do for the benefit of our community. You make a huge difference to our society and I was honored to have the opportunity to recognise you personally.”
Well done and congratulations to all our Rainbow Meals volunteers and a thank you for all your hard work and support. We really couldn’t do what we do without you.
