Each day thousands of people give their time freely to protect the environment, lead youth activities, preserve our heritage, support those in need and respond to international crisis.

Taking place this September and October, the annual GAVO awards will celebrate the incredible work of volunteers in Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly and Newport. The awards are an opportunity to say thank you to those that make a positive impact in their community.
