From 2020 Laois has had a full service Volunteer Centre for the first time.
The Centre helps people who want to volunteer in their community to find suitable volunteer roles and helps local organisations to recruit volunteers.
The Centre also promotes volunteering in Laois.
It provides a range of other services including Garda vetting and training in volunteer management.
We recognise the potential of volunteering and encourage groups and organisations – be they private, statutory or voluntary and community – to think creatively about volunteering roles and to develop imaginative, non-traditional opportunities for potential volunteers.
The Laois Volunteer Centre is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development, and is supported Volunteer Ireland and long-established Volunteer Centres in neighbouring counties.
