Thank you to everyone who attended our Volunteer Recruitment Fair, which gave our local community and voluntary organisations the opportunity to showcase their work and encourage new people to get involved.

The fair was open to people of all ages, including young people aged 16 and over, and provided an opportunity to find out more about the many different ways people can volunteer - whether they are looking to meet new people, develop skills and experience, support a cause they care about or simply give something back to their community

This Volunteer Recruitment Fair was administered by Omagh Volunteer Centre through the Investing in Community Volunteers programme.
