Community Volunteers

Fingal Volunteer Centre is proud to be actively taking part in the project of Community Volunteers.

Community Volunteers is a program to support events and urgent needs in our local community and we’re looking for more people to join us.

Would you like to sign up?

The project will give people the opportunity to get involved in local events and festivals while also supporting more urgent needs that arise unexpectedly, like the community response to COVID-19.

As a volunteer you’ll receive an in depth training on volunteering at event and in emergency response and you’ll become part of a selected panel of Community Volunteers.

We’d love to involve you, so why not sign up?
