Will you be one of our 30 at 30?

30 at 30 Stroud Valleys Project is celebrating its 30^th anniversary this year and to mark the occasion we are seeking to grow a group of supporters to give regularly and help us offer even more to people and places in the community.

T 30 at 30 hroughout our history we have provided valuable opportunities for people from all walks of life, including vulnerable individuals, enabling them to develop confidence, new skills and new friendships. Regular gifts make a huge difference to the work we do and we appreciate them all, but for our 30th Anniversary we are seeking 30 new pioneers to give ‘30 at 30’: 30 people giving £30 a month. This would raise £10,800 in one year. With Gift Aid this would be increased to £13,500.

Could you become one of the ‘30 at 30’ and help us continue to enrich lives and transform places? If you are interested please call us on 01453 753358. Alternatively you can pop into our eco shop at 8 Threadneedle Street, Stroud and ask about becoming a ’30 at 30’ Friend.

Our Volunteers Say

Quote

I've found the projects inspiring and I've developed skills I didn't know I had, to the extent that I am now able to find employment in new fields.

I will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers at Stroud Valleys Project for their encouragement and warm support.

Being involved with Stroud Valleys Project has been a great experience. I've enjoyed and learnt so much through various courses and volunteer projects I've worked on.

Thank you all at SVP for the help and support you have given me in the last couple of years, which has helped me to get my foot back on the ladder in the world of work.

I loved the course (Veg Growing), it was the highlight of my week

“Often I feel so bad I don’t want to do anything but after coming here, working with my group in the sunshine, I always feel more cheerful. They are my friends now.”

“Volunteering with SVP is the best thing that happened to me in my life.”

“I never thought I would get into gardening and growing stuff, but through all my work with SVP I have learnt to really appreciate nature.”

“We get lots of work done – and we have a laugh!”

“Our group is like pieces from a jigsaw puzzle. Everybody mucks in and does what they can, and the job gets finished in no time.”

“When somebody has a bad day, the others in the team make them feel better.”

“I learn lots of interesting things and I feel useful.”
