2025 – A Bumper Year for Corporate Volunteering in Carlow
2025 was a bumper year for companies and education groups giving back to the community in Carlow. Unum volunteers took part in a massive ten projects, involving 250 staff. Carlow Tidy Towns, An Gairdín Beo, the Delta Centre and the Irish Wheelchair Association worked closely with the Unum volunteers as they gave their time and dedication for the benefit of their community. They also put together 150 comfort kits for the service users of Women’s Aid Carlow.
Síle Eile were also very active with Carlow Tidy Towns this year, as they participated in several projects. Well done also to Equinox Education Services and Youthreach Carlow for contacting us to volunteer and getting involved this year. Their contributions were much appreciated.
Outside of local organisations, we were also contacted by LinkedIn and Stewarts Care in Dublin looking for ways in which they could contribute. Volunteers from Stewarts Care also made the trip to Carlow Day Care Centre to personally present their handmade cards and hampers to the service.
This type of Corporate Volunteering is incredibly valuable to community and voluntary groups, particularly in getting larger-scale projects completed that require lots of time and manpower. If your community group would like to benefit from a corporate volunteering project, please contact natasha@volunteercarlow.ie or sinead@volunteercarlow.ie.
