July Focus on: Remote/ from Home Volunteering 

There are multiple ways to volunteer. Do you know you can volunteer without leaving your home and at the time that suits you? Whether you want to offer your expertise in social media and PR, website development, administrative support, finance management, online mentoring, friendly phone calls, or translation, we have opportunities available in various fields. Not a fan of technology? How about knitting, crochet or present wrapping?

As always, make sure to read the opportunity before registering interest, some do require initial face-to-face training (so location is important to be checked), others do require you to have your own computer and internet, or just a phone.

Below are a few remote roles that are currently available on I-vol:

• Salesforce Database Support Volunteer with Fingal Volunteer Centre
• Kitty Fosterer Supporter with The Cat and Dog Protection Association of Ireland (CDPA)
• Super Knitter with Team Hope
• Super Shoebox Wrapper! with Team Hope
• ALONE Telephone Support and Befriending Volunteer with ALONE Dublin
• Life Skills online Volunteer with Aware
• Volunteer Remote Translator: Arabic/Vietnamese with Depaul

Community Volunteers 

The Community Volunteer program supports local events and is a wonderful way to get involved in the community, meet new people and local organisations.

After a busy weekend at Flavours of Fingal, our team was back the following weekend in Newbridge House estate in Donabate to support the All Ireland Pipe Band Competition, getting unique behind the scenes access to assist the organisers coordinating the numerous groups present that day. A day full of sun and music.

We are working with local groups to assist in their upcoming events and will be posting new shifts in the coming weeks.
If you are already a Community Volunteer, keep an eye on your profile.

See you at the next Community Volunteers event!

Survey – Fingal’s Age Friendly Strategy Consultation

Fingal County Council in partnership with Fingal Age Friendly Alliance are preparing an Age Friendly Strategy for Fingal. The purpose of this Strategy is to identify and deliver a range of actions that will support Age Friendly Living in Fingal and enable improvement in all aspects of life.

If you consider yourself as an older person living in Fingal, you can fill in the survey. Your ideas will be used to shape Fingal County Council’s Age Friendly Strategy (2025 – 2029)
