INTERESTED in making a
difference? - Come along to the Volunteer Fair in
Carndonagh.
Following on from Carndonagh Smart Village training and

on Thursday 16th June from 7pm - 9pm in the Colgan Hall. |

The whole idea of smart
communities is about sharing information, finding ways
to work together better, working smarter not harder, and
encouraging new people to get involved. Most of the
volunteer opportunities are practical, from gardening,
clean ups, administration, painting to organising
events. Every type of activity, skill and interest can
be an opportunity to make Carn a great place to live,
work and play!
This event will provide an opportunity for individuals
to meet and chat face-to-face with local groups and
clubs in Carndonagh. Áine Mc Laughlin, Development
Officer Inishowen Development Partnership explains:
“Whether you’re a student, retired, a business owner, or
are simply curious about volunteering or want to find
out more about what’s on offer in Carndonagh, this event
is ideal for you.”
The Fair expects to showcase 20 plus Carndonagh clubs,
groups and charities representing a wide range of
organisations - from sport clubs to community groups and
the arts, and more. Everyone is welcome to come stroll
around the many stalls which will be exhibiting on the
night and learn about volunteer opportunities and
general information about the amazing work non-profits
are doing in Carndonagh.
Interested volunteers are encouraged to attend and learn
more about the fantastic work, with no obligation to
join. The Fair is open to all ages and there is no need
to book, just come along. Helen Nolan, Co-Founder & CEO,
Spraoi agus Spórt added: “The Volunteer Fair will be a
great opportunity for members of the community both
young and old who would like to consider volunteering
their time to see the variety of opportunities that are
available locally in Carndonagh. Volunteers make a real
difference to the lives of others, and I would encourage
anyone who has an hour to spare be it weekly, monthly,
or annually to come along and meet the great
organisations who will be there on the night.”
The evening is aiming to be informal and informative, a
drop by and browse the stalls event. You can pick up
info, chat to groups, find out what is going on and then
consider your options, if any, that suit on the night.
Or just take the information away and decide later.
