#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!
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.
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.
Saint Joseph’s Shankill is calling all crafters and generally creative people!
MAKE
Become a COVID 19 Crafter Volunteer
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!
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!
SHARE
Share your Volunteering experience with us
We would love to hear about your experience of volunteering! Whether you have written a letter, done administration, or became a local shopper during the COVID 19 crisis we want to hear about it.
Please contact us by phone at 01899 1921, or by email at admin@volunteerfingal.ie, or write to us at QES House, 8c, Birch House, Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, D11 A9FP

What our Volunteers say about volunteering from home "For me it was a great feeling that I could use my time and creativity to produce something that might put a smile on someone's face. 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
