Volunteer Ireland
Awards 2019: Deadline Extended
Great news! We have just extended the deadline for nominations to
this year's Volunteer Ireland Awards to midnight Thursday 10th
October.

Making a nomination is quick and easy and it can all be done online.
So if you've been thinking about it but haven't gotten the chance
yet, why not take 5 minutes in the next week and nominate a special
volunteer you know?

Everyone who is nominated will receive a 'thank you' card from
Volunteer Ireland to show our appreciation for everything that they
do. Following a tough judging process, 30 volunteers will be
shortlisted and one will be named Christine Buckley Volunteer of the
Year at a ceremony in December.

Awards Throwback
Check out this wonderful blog -
[link removed] from 2015 Volunteer of the Year Matt Cullen. Matt was named
Volunteer of the Year for his work with Swords Tidy Towns and the
Irish Lung Fibrosis Association.

Matt suffers from the terminal illness lung fibrosis but that has
never dampened his volunteering spirit. His story is a lovely one and
shows how much it can mean to someone to get recognition for their
dedication despite never seeking it out.
