Spotlight on…ELITE
In past weeks we’ve heard from some of the job coaches and employment training coordinators at ELITE Supported Employment Agency. But these aren’t the only people working hard behind the scenes…

Listening to music, and spending time with my growing family, children and grandchildren.
Benny Griffiths, Volunteer Co-ordinator
What is your role on Engage to Change?
My role on Engage to Change is to recruit, train and support volunteers across South Wales.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
It’s never a dull or slow moment in this job – the fast-paced nature keeps me on my toes! I get the chance to speak to a lot of people and see a lot of places around South Wales. Above all else, I get to work with so many kind and good willed people – working towards such a great cause puts the biggest smile on my face.
What has been your proudest Engage to Change moment?
I’ve had the chance to see a lot of the people that we’ve helped with first hand. The project has had some great success stories from the guys and girls we assist – seeing them in work and enjoying their roles… it’s hard to pick one moment out of them all!
Tell us a few of your favourite things…
Rugby is a big part of my life. I volunteer at Bridgend Ravens rugby club as part of their media team. I also surf and windsurf quite a lot – while most people hate bad weather, I usually grab a wetsuit and find the nearest beach!
