This is National Volunteering Week. What's it about?



This week is National Volunteering Week - the one week of the year when we encourage everyone in Ireland to volunteer and highlight the value and impact of volunteering in Ireland. I-VOL and Local Volunteer Centres are volunteering to make a difference in their community or doing their bit to make the world a better place.
I-VOL the national volunteering database was launched in May last year online and through a smartphone app available for Android and OS platforms. This year, Volunteer Ireland will be launching new features and upgrades to I-VOL, which will enable not-for-profit organisations to search for available volunteers by skills and expertise.

In County Louth alone there are 3,000 Volunteers. You can catch up with the organisation on Mondays and Thursdays in the Town Hall Dundalk.
