Providing community support and acting as a hub for volunteering in Machynlleth and district.
CAMAD was formed in 1998 to provide much-needed community support and to act as a hub for volunteering in the area. Working in partnership with local and national charities we aim to nurture a strong, healthy and inclusive community.
Across the website you can follow links to our various services and opportunities. We see our community work and volunteer activities as interdependent — our community work is made possible through the kind dedication of volunteers, and our volunteers in turn offer invaluable service to our community.
