Volunteer Ireland is the National Volunteer Development Agency. It provides support for over 20 Volunteer Centres in Ireland.  Their website at www.volunteer.ie provides information about volunteering opportunities and has a full listing of contact details for your local Volunteer Centre.  The local centres match individuals with volunteering opportunities in their area and provide support and training where required.

If you are thinking about getting involved in volunteering but are not quite sure how or where to begin Volunteer Ireland is a good place to start.
