Great News! Galway City's first Volunteer Centre recently opened at the Westside Centre on the Seamus Quirke Road
According to its manager, Donncha Foley "The Centre provides information and advice to people interested in volunteering and to organisations looking for volunteers. We advertise vacancies, advise people on their options and help organisations support their volunteers."
This service will be of particular benefit to members of our community who often feel frustrated at being denied the right to work while their application for asylum-seeking status is being processed. The professional skills that we have are being ignored and are thus lost to the wider population of the country. Yet Ireland seems to be crying out for everything from doctors and economists through to cleaners and construction workers.
Though this volunteer service is only a few weeks old, nevertheless Donncha has a large number of interesting vacancies available. So why not visit the website at www.volunteergalway.ie where you can register online.
