DUNNES VOUCHERS FOR VOLUNTEERS

Yep, it’s now that time of the year when we really want to hear form you and see how many of you have been volunteering in 2018, for how long and how they’re finding the experience.

We’ll be raffling 2 Dunnes Vouchers (€ 30 each) at the end of October for active volunteers in 2018 (people who have already started volunteering).

To take part in the raffle you need to tell us who you’re volunteering with, in which role, how many hours per week and a quick feedback on it.

If you did volunteer at an event (even if it was only a once off) it’s still valid up that it happened during 2018.

To participate in the raffle please send me an email or record it on your Volunteer Profile:

Deadline is 31st October 2018.

EVENT VOLUNTEERS

Event Volunteers is a project jointly run by Fingal Volunteer Centre and Volunteer Ireland and we’ll do all that is possible to guarantee you an unforgettable volunteering experience.

We’re still looking for few more people for following events at the end of October: SSE Dublin City Marathon and Festival of Fire (Blanchardstown).

Please register here as Event Volunteer to select upcoming events:
