Volunteer-led opportunities (as agreed with Climate Cymru)

Got a project idea? We’re all ears! Climate Cymru supports volunteer-led initiatives that align with our mission. We’re here to help you turn your vision into reality. 

For example, volunteers have:

• Hebron’s film: Great Big Green Week Tour – 2024

After the whirlwind adventure of the Great Big Green Week Tour, Hebron felt inspired to capture something truly special. She decided to create a heartfelt short film, painting a vivid picture of how she dreams the world could look in 2050, if we take bold, meaningful action today.

As she journeyed across the breathtaking landscapes of Wales, Hebron interviewed people from all walks of life, gathering their hopes, dreams, and visions for a brighter, greener future. The result? A beautiful tapestry of voices, weaving together stories of resilience, passion, and the incredible climate action already unfolding across Wales.

This film isn’t just a glimpse into a hopeful future; it’s a powerful reminder that change is happening, right here, right now. Hebron’s work is a moving testament to the belief that, together, we can shape a world filled with possibility and promise. 

• Tammie’ video about Great Big Green Week: Tammie Esslemont Climate Cymru Volunteer

Tammie, too,decided to make a short video about her experience during Great Big Green Week. Inspired by the incredible people she met and the unforgettable experiences she had, she decided to create a heartfelt short video, sharing her journey and the profound impact it had on her.

In the video, Tammie opens up about the whirlwind adventure she embarked on – the laughter, the learning, and the powerful connections forged along the way. Her words are filled with warmth and sincerity as she reflects on how the experience not only deepened her understanding of climate action but also filled her with hope and purpose.
