Our Pembrokeshire-wide partnership project Together for Change project is now recruiting for two posts.  Funded by the National Lottery COVID-19 Response Fund Wales, the project was founded by Solva Care with partner organisations PAVS and PLANED.  We are now looking for a full time Project Coordinator and Project Officer to take the project forward.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for society has revealed the importance of community level organisations at a critical time, with communities responding dynamically and compassionately to the challenges they faced. Together for Change will bring together third and public sector organisations to establish a positive legacy from the experiences of COVID-19 and build on the important contribution of community-led action to the health and wellbeing of people in Pembrokeshire.

Find out more about these exciting opportunities on https://www.solvacare.co.uk/tfc/ – closing date 15 September.
