                VOLUNTEER EXPO

             FAIRGREEN SHOPPING CENTRE

        Thursday 13th September

    10am -2pm

 
 It's that time of the year again – the Carlow Volunteer Expo is just around the corner! 
Once again we will be teaming up with the Fairgreen Shopping Centre to host the 8th consecutive Volunteer Expo on Thursday, 13th of September. 
Carlow Volunteer Centre appreciate how important volunteers are and our Expo is all about giving groups and organisations a helping hand to find more volunteers. This is a great chance to find out more about what different voluntary roles require, the various organisations that need more help and most important - finding the right opportunity for you! 
“Feedback from groups in previous years has been very positive as it allows them to meet potential new volunteers, and it creates an awareness about the organisation and the services they provide.” says Natasha Akerele from Carlow Volunteer Centre. “Carlow has such a strong community spirit, and people are always willing to go the extra mile for a good cause”  
Although volunteering is primarily of huge benefit to our local community it brings many benefits to those who volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and widen your social circle. You can also develop skills that can benefit you both personally and professionally. Volunteering shows employers you are gaining experience, but that you are also proactive in personal development. 
The event will kick off in Fairgreen Shopping Centre from 10am – 2pm, with BEAT 102/103 & the Beat Fleet broadcasting live from the event. If that's not enough to get you to pop down, there's also a chance to win a €50 Fairgreen Shopping Centre voucher on the day! Check out our Facebook event page for more information closer to the date on how to enter. 
Make sure to call in and check out the various organisations you can volunteer with  (there's over 30!) and let's improve our community together.

    Carlow Volunteer Centre has concluded the happenings for National Volunteer Week 2018 with their annual Thank You Event in the Seven Oaks Hotel on Friday 18th May. This event embodies all the gratitude our communities have for the volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to contribute to local organisations’ efforts to help those in need. Without these volunteers a lot of organisations would not be able to operate and provide the quality of service that they do.

    The event was kindly sponsored by UNUM who treated over 220 volunteers to scones, cakes and a cuppa while enjoying an inspiring and thought provoking speeches by

    Fr Peter McVerry (Fr McVerry Trust)

    Cllr. William Paton, Cathaoirleach,

    Oliver McKenna, M.D. UNUM Ireland

    John McGuinness, TD

     

    Carlow Volunteer Centre are delighted to have this wonderful opportunity to thank all the volunteers and community groups for supporting the event as well as continuing their contributions to the welfare of local communities in Carlow county. In 2017, volunteers registered with Carlow Volunteer Centre, contributed almost 15,000 hours volunteering in Carlow which represents an economic gift of over €300,000.
