Go MAD - Make a Difference RSS Feed

DYFED High Sheriff David Pryse Lloyd and his merry volunteers are gathering promises of resources, manpower and money from businesses and individuals throughout Pembrokeshire.

They want to help community groups to tackle projects needing practical things like building materials, machinery, people and skills.

Perhaps your local youth centre needs a face lift – the High Sheriff could find painting materials and people to help. Or your village hall may need an access ramp for disabled visitors – the High Sheriff will look for a builder and building materials.

Times are tough so businesses and people can’t give as much money as they would like for community projects but it’s surprising how much they are prepared to help with materials & time.

Ideally, Go M.A.D. projects will be tackled during September 2010, but there may be exceptions.

If your business can help, or you have a project that needs doing find out more about Go MAD here. You can download an application form here Go MAD.doc.
