The Charity Sector; A Changing Landscape, What you Need to Know The charity landscape is changing in Ireland and with that comes new responsibilities and requirements for charities and not for profits.

Have you noticed how a few people can whip up ill informed rumours about recently arrived displaced people, while seeming to ignore that they are actual real human people?

Well it all happened in the not so distant past when we were the displaced people who met a few people who chose not to see us as real people.

But thankfully the record shows that most of those people got to know one another and in many cases became intermarried people.
So don't listen to ill informed people.....just talk to our newest genuine people!

Limerick's Mass Vaccination Centre Volunteers were honoured in City Hall, May 19th. As well as a tribute from Mayor of Limerick City and County there was a live link to Dublin Castle where Minister Joe O'Brien and representatives of Volunteers and Volunteer Centres spoke about the caring and good humoured work done by Volunteers during the mass vaccination of our nation. The effort was incredible and below are just some of the figures achieved by volunteers in Limerick alone.

Happy National Volunteering Week!
On Thursday 19th May Limerick Volunteer Centre will be paying special tribute to Limerick's Covid-19 Volunteers and presenting them with some special mementoes to honour their service. The attached image is a sample of the certificate they will receive. We'll post images of the event as and when.

At a time like this its so difficult to find the words but we'll try.........

Hi Everybody, If you fancy a small volunteer role at this very moment why not complete Padraic's survey on sports viewing and racial attitudes.
