Barnardos Are Looking For Local Volunteers In The Dublin Area

Barnardos are looking for volunteers in Dublin

With support from Dell Technologies and Irish rugby Grand Slam winner and Ambassador, Jenny Murphy, Barnardos are looking for volunteers in Dublin.

The children’s charity has worked with more than 17,600 children each year and they need your help this September.

Barnardos helps transform children’s lives through their services; by supporting parents; and by challenging society where it fails children.

They work in over 40 projects across the country and the charity was established in Ireland in 1962.

What?

Barnardos are looking for volunteers to shake a bucket or join an in store bag pack for just two hours between 8am and 9pm.

It's part of their National Collection Day which takes place on the 13th of September.

By doing this, each volunteer can raise up to €100 for vulnerable children in their community.

Fiadh's Mum wanted to keep her safe so kept her strapped in a buggy in their 6th floor flat. She was withdrawn and didn't know how to play. But now, thanks to you, she plays with other children every day in a Barnardos centre. She is bright and chatty and ready for “big school”! 😃 #play #fridayfeeling
