Volunteer Expos (May 2024)

In May, Fingal Volunteer Centre organised 3 Volunteer Expos in Baldoyle, Balbriggan, and Swords featuring locally active organisations.
These expos allowed volunteers to connect with local groups and explore volunteer opportunities that are available close to them.
Thank you to those who attended. Our next Expo will be in Dublin 15 in Autumn. More info will be shared later.

We’re curious:
1. What are your current challenges?
2. How can we help you do more of what matters?
If you have not done it yet, can you please take 5 mins to fill in the survey:
