Cyfoeth Y Coed - Volunteer Directors

New Today

Cyfoeth Y Coed (“The Riches of the Trees” in Welsh) is a small community interest company. They harvest unwanted produce, mainly apples, which they distribute to food banks and other food sharing groups throughout Swansea county.

Volunteer Directors

Salary: unpaid (voluntary role)

Location: Swansea

Cyfoeth Y Coed incorporated as a CIC (community interest company) early last year and are now looking to appoint additional directors in this volunteer position. 

They have a wonderful group of committed volunteers who come back year after year to pick apples and prune trees. Since 2021 they’ve picked almost seven tonnes of fruit. This year, for the first time, they'll be picking a large orchard in Gower, with many Welsh heritage varieties, giving them an exciting new opportunity to dramatically increase their impact.

Cyfoeth Y Coed are keen to increase their diversity and representation of the community: Welsh speakers and applicants from under-represented and minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Small business experience and/or prior board experience is a plus but not necessary.

Get in on the ground and use your initiative, creativity and drive to shape Cyfoeth Y Coed's future and realise the enormous potential of Swansea’s hidden harvest!
