Volunteering Matters May 2022

Welcome to the May issue of our newsletter. 

As we turn a major corner and start leaving all things Covid behind, this month we are celebrating National Volunteering Week (16th – 22nd May). 

This week is dedicated to the contribution volunteers make and the impact it has on our communities. Events will take place across the country covering everything from award nights, training, recognition and wellbeing.

Volunteers have kindly shared their experiences with us in South Dublin and we will feature a story a day on our website and all social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin 

To start off the week here in South Dublin, we have a great event in Tallaght Library. 

We are organising a volunteer fair where community groups and organisations who are looking for volunteers will have stands in the library so you can find out about opportunities in your locality and speak to the organisations present.

The volunteer centre staff will also be on hand to discuss suitable roles with you.

We look forward to seeing you there

If you can’t attend our volunteer fair on Monday 16th May, you can still check out great opportunities on our database. This month we are hi-lighting roles in the South Dublin region and home based roles

Featured Organisation of the Month 

Age ActionAge Action supports and advocates for equality and human rights for all older people. Everything we do is based on a recognition of the diversity of identity and situation among older people and a concern for equality for all older people. Our work is driven by an organisation that is professional in its operations and lives out its values of dignity, participation, diversity, social justice, and professionalism.

Age Action is Ireland’s leading advocacy organisation for older people and ageing. As well as informing and influencing policy we provide practical programmes to support older people to age in place and combat digital exclusion through our Care and Repair, Getting Started and Information Service.

Age Action are a nation-wide organisation. The opportunities active are located all over Ireland and some are home based. This allows for volunteers to help in all areas
