Transition Bro Gwaun is a Community Organisation set up as private company limited by guarantee and a Charity. We are governed by our brilliant Trustees, coordinated by our Core Group and run by many volunteers and a only few paid members of staff.
The People Behind TBG
Who We Are
We draw on a wealth of skills from our volunteers
OUR TRUSTEES

Julia Moffett came on board in 2015

OUR VOLUNTEERS
Each of our projects has many volunteers who help give birth to them and turn them into longterm viable community projects. Some volunteers are hands on and some like to stay behind the scenes. Some volunteers can commit regular hours to helping, some can only occasionally chip in.
No matter in what category you would fall, we would love to hear from anyone who is interested in TBG and what we do. We are always on the look out for new volunteers and would love to welcome you.
