Anywhere to volunteer?

Anyplace in Maynooth I can volunteer to help out? I've a free Wednesday night with free time during the day I imagine.

Check outside the SU Office. I remember there were volunteering posters for various places up there in my time at NUIM. Failing that you could ask in the SU Office itself

I presume a lot of the voluntering societies on campus will have activities on during the week, check on Fairs day which Socs have activities on your chosen day and time.

you could try volunteeringireland.ie they have some positions advertised for Maynooth but you have to register as a volunteer with them first

Ignoring the last comment,

You should ask St Vincent De Paul on Clubs & Socs Day.

Cool thanks for all your help lads. Is there some student run talk line for people with problems? I'd like to help there... or with the eldery. Not sure, Vincent de Paul is a great idea though thanks!

So you're not in guitar orchestra this year Kevin?

The Volunteering Society would probably be a good place to start. Their email is volunteers@nuimsu.com

CaoimH_in

Wonderful!

Rory: Nope! 3rd year I suppose! :P

The Lions Club in college used to volunteer in the old folks home in Maynooth for a few hours every week. It was basically just sitting around having a chat and playing cards, with tea and biscuits included :-)

If you're interested, we might be able to hook you up. Drop me a mail?

Lions club facebook:

(the lions club will regretably be winding down this year it seems, but the old folks home would probably still be happy to have you)

SVP Maynooth

The St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) will be at Fairs Day at the SU all day so make sure to join or rejoin the society of charity, volunteering and having the craic. Like all other societies it is 2 euro to join and you can get involved as much or as little as you like CHARITY, VOLUNTEERING, HAVING THE CRAIC

Rafcam

I won't have enough €2's for everything I wanna join!

Rafcam

By Maxol garage do you mean the one you pass by when you're driving in to Maynooth from the M4? I'm going to go look into maybe getting a few hours this week sometime.

Yeah that's where it is, it's at the side of the building furthest from the road

Rafcam

Thanking you! I'll have a wander out one of the days and see.
