Do you do any voluntary work?

By (user no longer on site) OP 14 weeks ago

Just watching a TV show about volunteering in the Tidy Town s competition, does anyone get involved in community projects? Seems like a pleasant interest.

There was a group in limerick that used to go around trying to find "ladies of the night" on the streets, handing out info about sexual health and condoms. It got so popular, they had to turn volunteers away!

I'm a volunteer for Alone for the last 5 years and visit someone every Monday night

I also help delivering dinners across Dublin from the RDS on Christmas day every year

I mentioned this previously and I got a private message a while later from another fabber saying they had trained for Alone and were starting to visit someone in their community

Best message I ever got on fab

I was involved in various voluntary and charity work from the age of 16 until I was in my early 50s.

I've done my share and don't do anything at all now.

I do yep. Dedicated a lot of voluntary hours over the past 15-20 years to various causes and organisations. It's been exhausting at times, but extremely rewarding.

Ive travelled doing both paid and unpaid charity work, but I find keeping it local, ie. doing something I enjoy that also benefits the community is very satisfying.

For me it's regular but not consistent I don't think I'd enjoy it if I was tied to it all the time.

We do a lot, actually to much and then burn out every now and then 🙈.

Charity work benefits everyone

I always step forward to help out, I think it's important to show leadership in civic life, so many absent role models that lead to antisocial behaviour.

I don't know about volunteering, but we foster kittens and so on. Does that count? I'm our minds yes, as we are assisting the community while caring for those that can't speak.

I do some work with special Olympics and more recently I have gone into schools and delivered Junior Achievement programs in both primary and secondary schools, it’s great.

I also coach GAA to both boys and girls.

Have done a few stints in penny dinners in Votk also, that is a super cause.

I help with feeding the homeless in the city centre one night a week.

It's terribly sad but rewarding too.

Into a few that have been mentioned already but for one that hasn't: the trade union. Supporting and helping out colleagues with stressful workplace issues and contributing to better conditions for everyone including non-members is pretty rewarding.
