South West Rhyl Communities First in partnership Rhyl College held a day of pampering for volunteers in the area.
10 young students who are currently completing their Welsh baccalaureate as nail technicians pampered 30 volunteers who work for various community groups in the area
By collaborating and pooling resources the day was a win- win for both partners as well as those who were pampered
Debbie Holmes – Development officer for South West Rhyl Communities First said “ the students needed some one to practise on in a community setting and we wanted to reward volunteers with a little thank you for everything they do in their own communities and the input they have in Communities First in South West Rhyl
One of the students who took part said:-
“ Our perceptions of the community have changed – the community volunteers were all very nice and I didn’t expect so many volunteers to turn up and be so interested in what we were doing as students”
Rose Bellis who runs the local over 50’s club as a volunteer said:-
“The day was very enjoyable especially as I can no longer do them myself due to illness. I’m now thinking of asking the students to visit our club to do a session there.”
