‘20 years of listening to and supporting the development of people and communities’

Interlink is the County Voluntary Council (CVC) for Rhondda Cynon Taf, supporting individuals, communities and organisations to work together to make a positive impact on the life of people who live and work in Rhondda Cynon Taf and also in Merthyr Tydfil with Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil (VAMT).

We act as an umbrella body or ‘Hub’ to support over 550 members through helping plan and develop projects, activities and events as well as helping members plan and manage what they do. This is about using all the amazing skills and knowledge within communities to turn ideas into action and to make a difference. Our members come in all shapes and sizes, some are small community groups and others are larger charities, we love working with them all!

We believe stronger communities result from building on their existing assets and strengths,  empowering individuals, communities and organisations to have an equal voice and to make a difference through community development.  The better we understand, respect and value each other,  the more we listen the better we will be able to  and work together to make a difference,  tackle poverty, improve wellbeing and reduce inequality.
