We (Briege and Clare) had the pleasure of joining ⁦@DunLaoghaireTT⁩ for one of their bi-weekly cleanups. Afterwards, we marked #IVD2023 with some sweet treats and celebrated the volunteers who were receiving their Advanced Volunteering Certificate today. Well done all! 👏

[DLR Volunteer Centre @VolunteerDLR]

First stop today was to call into The Bike Hub - it was a pleasure to chat to Steve & Darren! We highly encourage you to stop by and learn about this wonderful social enterprise.

We left in some goodies for them and their volnteers who pilot trishaws and upcycle bikes! #IVD2023

Elizabeth Morrin is the Volunteer Manager at @childreninhosp and was an incredibly deserving awardee in the Volunteer Manager category. We are privileged to get a small insight into her amazing work through when we connect with Children In Hospital Ireland.

[DLR Volunteer Centre @VolunteerDLR]

Locally, we're using #IVD2023 as an excuse to celebrate volunteers and volunteerism all week - we're excited to connect with some wonderful volunteers and organisations and to take a few actions behind the scenes to celebrate the volunteerism that exists in our county. 💜

[DLR Volunteer Centre @VolunteerDLR]

Did you know that today is International Volunteer Day?

This #IVD2023 is all about recognising the power of collective action and honouring the one billion volunteers worldwide who exemplify the spirit of #IfEveryoneDid.

[DLR Volunteer Centre @VolunteerDLR]

In a world filled with challenges - inequality, global warming, injustice - we all carry our baggage. But where some feel a burden, others discover their strength and find inspiration to take action. Thank you to everyone who steps forward to volunteer. #IfEveryoneDid #IVD2023
