Season 3 Episode 4 Gethyn Williams Advancing The Profession

Gethyn has spent over 20 years working in the voluntary and community sector across England and Wales in fields as diverse as sport, youth, environment and disability.

Specialising in volunteering initiatives for the past decade he’s worked on strategy for the London 2012 legacy, within central government at the height of the Covid pandemic and run national programmes at Volunteering Matters.

A freelancer since 2020, Gethyn now focuses on helping non-profits to develop their business, capture their impact and enhance their volunteer programmes. In recent times he has supported the roll out of a range of national, high-profile volunteering initiatives, including the Vision for Volunteering and The Big Help Out.

The diversity of these approaches to volunteering provides the thread that now runs through his work - a belief that volunteering is largely still misunderstood or under-valued, but that by engaging in all of its forms we can help raise it to a level of appreciation and awareness that its social value clearly justifies.
