Stroud Valleys Project - Join Stroud Pound and support Stroud Valleys Project

Several supporters of SVP have become members of Stroud Pound Co-op. In doing so they have nominated the SVP as their local charity. This means that whenever they obtain Stroud pounds from the Stroud Pound Co-op, 3% is allocated to SVP. Over the last year and a half this has added up to a handsome £53 Stroud Pounds. These have now (June 2011) been passed on for the charity to spend as they wish.

If more supporters sign up as members of Stroud Pound and spend the local currency with participating businesses, Stroud Valleys Project stands to gain even more funds to support its valuable work. Becoming a member costs £5 after that it's free.

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.”
