We have a strong reputation for working with the vibrant community and voluntary sector across the county, delivering vital services and support to those in need. We encourage and support volunteers, we catalyse community action through grant funding, we engage on policies and initiatives with local and national government, the health board and businesses, and we help third sector organisations operate at their full potential. From our office in Haverfordwest, we operate the Pembrokeshire Community Hub which is a one-stop-shop for advice, information and support from the hundreds of community and voluntary organisations in the county. Our 8 Community Connectors are based across Pembrokeshire providing an essential role in supporting people to access community-level services and activities that will help them maintain independent lives.

Our 28 staff bring a wealth of experience and expertise. We are passionate about our work and are a supportive team. We are innovative and creative, collaborative and enthusiastic, inclusive and kind. Above all, we take pride in our work and strive for excellence in everything we do. Our annual turnover of over £1m is largely derived from grant funding, which we administer on behalf a range of public and private sector organisations. We are alive to the pressures on public sector funding, the growing demand for services from individuals and the need to expand the number of volunteers. Nonetheless we are excited about opportunities to build and strengthen the third sector arising from green investment into Pembrokeshire as well as developing innovative ways of delivering key services.
