PAVO

Last week, a lady was going round town distributing leaflets and putting up posters to publicise PAVO, the Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations.
This organisation has been there in the background for many years, assisting local groups to access services, giving support and information.
They can be contacted at community.connectors@pavo.org.uk
She also had a card for infoengine.wales, which offers support for voluntary and community groups across Wales.
And she was publicising the Powys Befriending Service, which supports people over 50 who are isolated to maintain their independence and improve their social networks. They're looking for Volunteer Befrienders to spend time with older people. They give full training and support, and all Volunteer Befrienders will have a DBS check.
