#VolunteerFromHome
Fingal Volunteer Centre would like to invite you to be part of their Volunteer From Home campaign. Why? Because while many things are changing, volunteering is still a wonderful way to connect with one another and the causes we care about. It is a way to look after ourselves, others and the world around us.
WRITE
Volunteer with our Letter writing campaign for Nursing homes Who can send a letter? Anyone of any age can send a letter!
MAKE
SHARE
Become a COVID 19 Crafter Volunteer Saint Joseph’s Shankill is calling all crafters and generally creative people!
What can you send? You can send Letters, drawings, poems, short stories, or similar. We recommend you to address them as "Dear Friend" or "Dear Friends", if it's for the whole group of residents.
The volunteer team cannot come into the home to make moments matter for the people in their care. Instead of volunteering in the home they are looking for you to volunteer from your home. So please put your creative skills to work to brighten up someone's day!
Will I get a response? This is not a Pen Pal project but a oneway project, so you won't receive any response back to your correspondence.
What type of crafts are they looking for? They are looking for teddies/dolls (big enough to hug); small blankets for knees; bed jackets...the sky's the limit!

There is no better feeling to know that someone less fortunate or someone who might feel lonely at this time of year can benefit from our free minutes. I sent my best wishes to all and hope that for a few minutes they felt warm and thought of." Mariana, Volunteer
