Minister Joe O'Brien at the launch of the County Louth Volunteering Framework
Louth Volunteer Centre are calling for members of the community to help shape the future of volunteering in County Louth, and they need your invaluable input! Whether you are a volunteer, a volunteer manager or you don’t volunteer at all, Louth Volunteer Centre would love to have you engaged in the process.
On Thursday 18th July, sessions are being arranged in Drogheda, Dundalk and Ardee where attendees will meet with other volunteers, local organisations, and researchers. Your feedback is crucial as we gather insights on volunteering, share stories on how volunteering has impacted you, and discuss what can be done to encourage more people to get involved in volunteering.
Please find information and booking at www.volunteerlouth.ie or email info@volunteerlouth.ie.
This research report, being developed as part of the County Louth Volunteering Framework, will be a key part of shaping and influencing policy making in Louth into the future. Your perspectives will directly influence our research and future initiatives.
The County Louth Volunteering Framework, published in 2021, was informed by an in depth consultation process involving over 350 people across Louth.
This Framework document is the first of its kind at County level in Ireland. It recognises and values the contribution of volunteers; seeks to expand the demographics of volunteering; supports those who support volunteers and aims to help make it easier for people in Louth to access voluntary activity.
Work commenced on the delivery of the 68 recommendations contained in the framework in 2022 and will continue until 2024. You can view more details and view the document on www.volunteerlouth.ie
The Framework is owned by the Louth Community Development Committee and is currently being delivered by a group of stakeholders from across various sectors in County Louth. This implementation group is led by a secretariat consisting of members from Louth Volunteer Centre, Louth County Council, Louth Local Development Company and Louth PPN.
The development of a piece of research on the impact of volunteering in Co. Louth, including analysis of gaps in volunteering, is a recommendation from the Framework and is being funded and delivered by Louth Volunteer Centre and supported by the implementation group
