Hugh Davies
Coordinator of PRIME-Cymru Volunteer Mentor Scheme, PRIME Cymru, Opportunity & Enterprise
My name is Hugh. I am 59 years of age and live in the beautiful Parish of Myddfai in Carmarthenshire, South West Wales. I have spent most of my professional career working in education and the arts and have held a variety of management and senior posts in, careers education, personal development, and the arts, culminating in Director of an Arts Centre in a Specialist College for the Arts. I hold a degree in Education and a qualification in Coaching and Mentoring.
Since retiring in 2004 I have found it necessary get involved in a variety of things to keep active and continue making a contribution. I now work as a consultant in education and the arts, am on the list of National Advisers for the Arts Council of Wales, Chairman of a re-development project in Myddfai and, since 2007, Coordinator of the PRIME-Cymru Volunteer Mentor Scheme.
The Volunteer Mentor Scheme recruits and trains mature professional mentors to provide guidance and support to people of 50 and over who are seeking to become economically active and make a positive change in their lives. The PRIME team are an innovative and dedicated group who are a pleasure to work with. Mentors are inspirational in the time and commitment they put in on behalf of their clients completely free of charge. I thoroughly enjoy starting a project from the ground up and look forward to building teams of mentors across Wales who share their experience to make a difference for others.
