Descrição da organização

Cardiff Council is a local authority employing approx. 15000 employees. Cardiff Harbour Authority is a department within Cardiff Council that manages Flat Holm Island. Flat Holm is a small island 5 miles off the Cardiff coast and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Local Nature Reserve, Historic site and visitor destination. Its main aim is to conserve the natural habitats, plants and wildlife, historic features and provide opportunities for people in its widest sense including volunteering and learning new skills. We welcome volunteers on our long term Voluntary Assistant Warden Scheme where training in habitat management, conservation, wildlife monitoring/surveys and environmental education/visitor management is offered. The island welcomes day trippers who are provided with guided tours and has dormitory accommodation, camping and a converted Lighthouse keeper’s cottage available for overnight stays for visitors which include individuals, families, youth groups, special interest groups etc. who can get involved in activities such as conservation, retreats, education survival skills. Volunteers live in a converted World War 2 accommodation block. We are also supported by a voluntary ‘Friends of’ group called the Flat Holm Society.
