Our services for local organisations
Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Volunteer Centre works to develop volunteering in our county and local communities. We do this by supporting individuals to volunteer and organisations to involve volunteers. Whether you are a small volunteer led organisation or a large multinational charity, our supports and services are available to help you to start or grow a volunteer programme that helps you to deliver your mission and strategic goals.
You can also email Clare Cryan on support@volunteerdlr.ie to learn more about about our service and seek support.
