The Drogheda Volunteer Centre is to receive a Government grant of €118,406 to support them in their work according to south Louth Fianna Fáil local election candidate, James Carroll.

“The Drogheda Volunteer matches volunteers with local organisations who can use their energy and expertise.”

“It is important that we do all we can to encourage a spirit of volunteerism as it helps to build communities, friendships and strengthens local organisations who are working for the benefit of local people.”

“I am delighted that the work of the Drogheda Volunteer Centre is to be supported with these Government funds,” concluded James Carroll.

At Drogheda Volunteer Centre you can find out about volunteering opportunities, get information on hundreds of different volunteering opportunities and talk to someone on the how, why and where of volunteering.

Drogheda Volunteer Centre also helps organisations source volunteers for themselves, help with any issues about taking on volunteers for the first time or to review current procedures and talks to groups about anything to do with volunteering, such as references, good practice and expenses among many things.
