Confidence grows when we give our time. 🌱

96% of International Protection Applicants we surveyed said volunteering increased their confidence. Trying new things, building skills and being welcomed by a team can make a real difference.

If your organisation would like to engage volunteers seeking International Protection, we would love to hear from you!

Volunteering is a great way to meet your neighbours. 👋

92% of the International Protection Applicants we surveyed said they met new people from Ireland through volunteering. Shared tasks, shared goals and a cup of tea afterwards go a long way towards building friendships.

Arriving in a new country is not easy. 💚

People seeking International Protection often face long waits, uncertainty and a lot of change, often far from family and everything familiar. We know that is a lot to carry.

We also know that volunteering can be a way for anyone to feel part of a community. It gives people the chance to meet neighbours, build skills and do something meaningful while they find their feet.

Over the past year, Volunteer Centres around the country have been engaging with International Protection Applicants, and we have learned a lot about just how important volunteering is for new arrivals and for the communities they join.

Over the coming days, we will share some of what we have learned. Follow along. 👇

What great work Volunteer Ireland ! 🌍

We see it every day here in Cork too: when people from different backgrounds volunteer together, they bring new languages, skills, experiences and ideas that make our whole community richer. For volunteers who are new to Ireland, it's also a way to get connected, meet people and feel part of the community.

Inclusion works both ways, and that's what makes volunteering so powerful. Thank you to everyone who has chosen to give back! 💜

We had a great group of volunteers out on Saturday in Beaumont Quarry collecting litter and removing two types of invasive plants on the site that would otherwise overwhelm the native ecology: old man’s beard and winter heliotrope.

Together we accomplished an amazing amount of work to maintain this natural space for the people (and wildlife) of Cork’s Beaumont neighbourhood.

With thanks to Nature Network Ireland for the opportunity!

Kerri is enjoying the WHO Conference of Mayors on Climate & Health. It’s great to hear so many policy makers understanding the interconnected priorities of creating green spaces to mitigate climate change impacts and threats to human health including mental health and wellbeing and social inclusion.

Cork’s own Maria Young was a star keynote speaker making the case for community gardens in urban spaces connecting people and supplementing a troubled national food system.

We were delighted to meet with Minister Buttimer today alongside some of our Volunteer Centre colleagues from the Dublin and Leinster regions, and Volunteer Ireland.

We’re very proud of the work we do as volunteer centres across the country, and were delighted to showcase that work presenting the Annual Report 2025 of activities from across the country.
