During 2022 SCVS worked in partnership with 4theRegion and Swansea Environmental Forum to identify local transport and travel needs, and co-produce ways to solve them.
The project focused on addressing social isolation, promoting community cohesion, enabling better access to services and employment, improving health and wellbeing and tackling the decarbonisation imperative.
As the project draws to a close, a wide range of resources are being developed to support groups and individuals to continue to develop the solutions they need to address transportation issues in their communities. Access the resources here.
WGVS is a multi-agency project creating shared resources to develop the knowledge, management and coordination of volunteers and volunteer involving organisations across the Swansea and Neath Port Talbot areas.
The free resources include: Information Sheets, Toolkits and Training Packs.
