Short-term Host - Cultural Exchange Christmas

Give the gift of Christmas! Hundreds of adult international students studying in the UK are facing a lonely Christmas on a deserted University campus. You can invite students to visit for a few days at Christmas so the student can experience ‘real’ Britain, away from university and heavy tourism, and so the host can meet new people and learn about diverse cultures from around the world.

There are no specific expectations from a host visit, other than the student should be made to feel part of your family for the short time. Hosts can show their local area, visit friends, attend local events, or just spend time chatting. This is not a tourism opportunity for the student and hosts are not expected to act as ‘tour-guides’.

So, if you’d like to enjoy an unusual and rewarding activity, meet new people and travel the world on your sofa, get in touch with Mantell Gwynedd on 01286 672626 or volunteer@mantellgwynedd.com

Excavation Opportunity - Gwynedd Archaeological Trust

Gwynedd Archaeological Trust are running an excavation at the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways’ Boston Lodge Works, Minffordd, from Tuesday 6th October until Friday 16th October and are looking for volunteers to help out on site. The work will involve the excavation, cleaning, and recording of two gunpowder sheds as well as an area of yard which originally held a storage shed and carpenter’s shop.
Please note that due to a constrained budget there is unfortunately only a very limited budget for volunteer expenses on this job. This also means that on this occasion we do not have the resources to support volunteers with no previous archaeological excavation experience.
