General

SY JOSHUA became director of youth at St John Cymru-

Wales on February 1.

Mr Joshua, 42, from Barry Island, has one aim – to let

everyone know about the work the charity does.

He took over the post on February 1 and his first duty

was to open the St John National Youth Awards, which

honoured the hard work of its more than 2,000 members

who are under the age of 18.

The married father-of-two joined St John Cymru-Wales from Swansea YMCA, where he was

operations manager.

He is a graduate in sociology, history and politics, he also has degrees in social work and youth and

community work, and a Masters in charity management.

“Although it’s early days, I am looking in the first instance at ways to grow youth membership and

improve quality,” he said.

“There has been some fantastic work already done here – the Youth Awards showed that we have

an incredibly strong base to start from, and dedicated staff who give everything week-in week-out to

make sure our youngsters can achieve their potential.

“We all want to give young people a strong foundation to enable them to develop their skills as they

go through the transition into adulthood.

“In my first few days I have been constantly amazed at all the work we do here – many people don’t

realise, looking from the outside, what St John Cymru-Wales Youth actually does.

“They don’t see the dedication of the volunteers, the training we give, the joy the young people get

from what we offer – it’s absolutely astounding for someone looking at the organisation as a whole.

“If I can let more people know about this, get more young people involved in learning lifesaving skills

and leave a lasting legacy in the long term – I will consider that a job well done.”

Victims of Domestic Abuse - Struggling for Support?

Changes to legal aid have affected the support that 6 in 10 advisers helping victims of domestic

abuse can provide, finds new research from Citizens Advice.

The survey of over 300 Citizens Advice Bureaux advisers finds:

Almost 1 in 4 of advisers who responded cite issues with gathering evidence as a major barrier to resolving issues in domestic abuse cases

A third of all advisers report fewer victims of domestic abuse proceed with legal action because of the legal aid changes

A fifth of advisers saying the legal aid changes are a barrier find victims are unable to afford the necessary financial contributions when they are offered legal aid, and 1 in 5 also reported more domestic abuse victims self-representing.

Drinking for two? Alcohol and pregnancy

21 September 2015

Radisson Blu Hotel, central Cardiff

Hosted by Alcohol Concern Cymru

Few topics in the fields of alcohol policy and practice give rise to more debate than drinking during

pregnancy. How much is it safe to drink? What exactly are the risks to foetus? What’s the best way

to discuss drinking with parents who may already feel overburdened with advice?

All these questions and more will be under the microscope at our 2015 conference in Cardiff.

Speakers will include Chief Medical Officer for Wales, Dr Ruth Hussey OBE; Dr Lesley Smith of Oxford

Brookes University on the challenge of assessing drinking during pregnancy; Dr Therese Dowswell

from Liverpool University on interventions to reduce alcohol consumption in pregnancy; and Dr Ellie

Lee of Kent University and Spiked Online, arguing against over-policing pregnancy.

They’ll also be chance to take part in workshops looking at alcohol and drinking from the

perspectives of parents and midwives, and how to engage with mothers with an established drink

problem, amongst other issues.

drafod alcohol gyda rhieni sydd eisoes wedi’u beichio â llwyth o gynghorion?

Byddwn ni’n ceisio atebion i’r cwestiynau hyn oll a rhagor yn ein cynhadledd eleni yng Nghaerdydd.

The Language of Volunteering

This year’s volunteering conference will take place in the splendour of Glasdir conference centre in Llanrwst and we hope that if you are a volunteer programme manager, volunteer coordinator, or you promote and support volunteering in some other way, you will be able to join us for the day on Thursday 9 July 2015.

The conference will take a look at some widely different types and contexts of volunteering. We shall consider the links with wellbeing; the growing research and policy interest in this and the growing importance of being able to evidence the benefits of volunteering in terms of wellbeing. Why else would you, in retirement, get involved in helping out at your local hospital other than because it feels good to do so? As well as an inspiring line up of main speakers, there will be a choice of workshops on topics including communication and conflict involving volunteers, how we 'sell' volunteering to reach different audiences and working with DWP locally through local Job Centres to enable positive volunteering for those who are seeking employment. Booking information will be uploaded to the WCVA website soon. Meanwhile you can register your interest by emailing eventsadmin@wcva.org.uk so that booking details can be sent to you when they are available.

Pam arall fyddech chi, wedi ymddeol, yn dewis rhoi help llaw yn eich ysbyty lleol heblaw am y ffaith bod gwneud hynny'n teimlo'n dda?

WCVA’s Volunteering Conference returns in 2015 on Thursday 9 July in Glasdir, Llanrwst. This

year’s theme; ‘The Language of Volunteering’.

This year's volunteering conference takes as its theme 'the language of volunteering'. What does volunteering mean to you? And when is volunteering not volunteering?

If you are getting work experience, or doing a community placement for the Welsh Baccalaureate; if you are involved in social action or you chair a committee, are you volunteering? If you are released by your employer to do a day of volunteering, and are paid your usual wage, are you volunteering?

The conference will take a look at some widely different types and contexts of volunteering. We shall consider the links with wellbeing; the growing research and policy interest in the topic and the growing importance of being able to evidence the benefits of volunteering in terms of wellbeing. Why else would you, in retirement, get involved in helping out at your local hospital other than because it feels good to do so?

Since volunteering means different things to different people and there are many different reasons for doing it, it follows that we need to be skilful and strategic in the way we promote messages about volunteering to our communities. Clearly one message won't do for everyone.

To register your interest in the conference and receive the full conference programme as soon as it's released please email eventsadmin@wcva.org.uk

Mae Cynhadledd Wirfoddoli WCVA yn 2015 yn dychwelyd ddydd Iau 9 Gorffennaf, yn Glasdir, Llanrwst. Y thema eleni yw ‘Iaith Gwirfoddoli’.

Thema'r gynhadledd wirfoddoli eleni yw 'iaith gwirfoddoli'. Beth mae gwirfoddoli yn ei olygu i chi? A phryd nad yw gwirfoddoli yn wirfoddoli?

Os ydych yn cael profiad gwaith, neu'n gwneud lleoliad yn y gymuned ar gyfer Bagloriaeth Cymru; os ydych yn rhan o weithredu cymdeithasol neu'n cadeirio pwyllgor, a ydych yn gwirfoddoli? Os yw'ch cyflogwr yn eich rhyddhau i wneud diwrnod o wirfoddoli, ac rydych yn cael eich cyflog arferol, a ydych yn gwirfoddoli?

Bydd y gynhadledd yn cymryd golwg ar fathau a chyd-destunau gwirfoddoli gwahanol iawn. Byddwn yn ystyried y cysylltiadau â lles; yr ymchwil a'r diddordeb cynyddol o ran polisi yn y pwnc a phwysigrwydd cynyddol y gallu i brofi buddion gwirfoddoli i wella lles. Pam arall fyddech chi, wedi ymddeol, yn dewis rhoi help llaw yn eich ysbyty lleol heblaw am y ffaith bod gwneud hynny'n teimlo'n dda?

Gan fod gwirfoddoli yn golygu gwahanol bethau i wahanol bobl ac mae yna sawl rheswm gwahanol dros wirfoddoli, mae'n dilyn bod angen i ni fod yn fedrus ac yn strategol yn y ffordd rydym yn cyfleu negeseuon ynglŷn â gwirfoddoli i'n cymunedau. Mae'n amlwg na wnâi'r un neges y tro i bawb.

I gofrestru'ch diddordeb yn y gynhadledd a chael y rhaglen lawn cyn gynted ag y mae ar gael, anfonwch ebost i eventsadmin@wcva.org.uk

The theme focuses on reducing violence, abuse and exploitation and will therefore result in people:

avoiding entering harmful or risky situations, experiencing less harm from past or present violence, abuse and exploitation, leaving violent, abusive or exploitative situations.

Domestic violence and sexual abuse are more commonly the issues tackled under this theme, though the above criteria also have the potential to be met when addressing issues such as homelessness, drug and alcohol misuse, mental health problems, refugees and asylum seekers, elder abuse, bullying and gangs. Please see the website www.comicrelief.com for full details and an electronic application form.

Ar y cyfan, trais yn y cartref a cham-drin rhywiol yw'r pynciau mwyaf cyffredin o dan y thema hon, er bod hefyd yn cael y meini prawf uchod y potensial i gael eu bodloni wrth fynd i'r afael â materion fel digartrefedd, camddefnyddio cyffuriau ac alcohol, problemau iechyd meddwl, ffoaduriaid a cheiswyr lloches, cam-drin pobl hŷn, bwlio a gangiau.

Challenge Wales Bursary Scheme

Challenge Wales, Wales’ Tall Ship has been offering life-changing voyages to over 1,500 young

people over the last few years. This activity has helped young people develop; team building and

communication skills, respect for others, timekeeping skills as well as challenging themselves and

helping them develop self-confidence and self-esteem. And, don’t forget it is easy to jump onboard

in 2015. Groups or individuals resident in Wales (and under the age of 26 years) automatically get

subsidised on day or residential sail training voyages plus group leaders places are free of charge.

But don’t forget, if you are applying for funding from funders for residential sail training activities

then the Challenge Wales Bursary Scheme can provide match funding.

Do you want to be part of a Challenge Wales Funding Bid? Challenge Wales would also like to

partner up with different youth groups who would be interested in sail training throughout Wales. If

successful these voyages would be fully funded. To find out more email; Vicky Williams,
