What is volunteering?
“Volunteering is the commitment of time and energy, for the benefit of society, local communities, individuals outside the immediate family, the environment or other causes.
Voluntary activities are undertaken of a person’s own free will, without payment.”

- If you would like to hear about some specific volunteering opportunities or if you would just like to hear more about the work of the Centres, please don't hesitate to contact us.
The volunteers do not receive money not because they are worthless but because they are priceless.
Ní thugtar airgead do na hoibrithe deonacha ní toisc nach mbíonn luach ar a gcuid oibre ach toisc nach féidir luach a chur ar a gcuid oibre.
