Louth Volunteers need your help this St Patrick's Day

Want to be part of the biggest celebration of the year? Louth Volunteer Centre is calling on enthusiastic volunteers to help make this St Patrick’s Festival a fantastic experience for everyone. Been toying with the idea of volunteering for a while, perhaps an unfulfilled new year’s resolution? Here’s your perfect chance!

One of the best days of the year to volunteer, St. Patrick’s Day is a time for ceol, craic, parades, music, dancing, and plenty of laughter. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or trying it for the first time, this is the perfect chance to dip your toe into volunteering on this special day.

Previous years’ volunteers loved being part of the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, with the amazing energy on the day and seeing so many people come together—whether locals or visitors. The best part can be seeing children's faces light up as the floats passed by. It’s a reminder why volunteering can be so rewarding—you get to make a difference while having fun.

Volunteering for St. Patrick’s Day is a great way to:

• Get involved in your local community
• Meet new people and make new friends
• Have fun while making a difference
• Experience the festival from a whole new perspective
• Celebrate the best of where we live and the best aspects of Ireland

Kayleigh Mulligan, Louth Volunteer Centre Manager, shared her thoughts on the event: "St. Patrick’s Day volunteering is a fantastic way to experience the festival’s inclusive and fun atmosphere. It’s a brilliant opportunity to connect with others, celebrate together, and contribute to the community in a meaningful way."

Louth Volunteer Centre welcomes all volunteers, including its established Community Volunteers and especially anyone new interested in joining this flexible and rewarding programme. Louth Community Volunteers is designed to support one-off events, festivals, and community needs. It’s perfect for those who want to give back without the pressure of a regular commitment.
