National Volunteer Week is a time to celebrate, recognise and thank volunteers, and to create awareness for the important work that they do throughout County Longford.
Gerry Smyth, Coordinator of Longford Volunteer Centre outlined, “National Volunteering Week returns from May 17 - 23.
Having come through an unprecedented year this year s theme recognises the big impact that small actions can have, so even if we are still restricted in our movements we can continue to make a difference.
“This year, to show appreciation to the wonderful volunteers out there, we invited people to ‘Tag-A-Volunteer’ and ‘Make-A-Heart’ for us to display in our main office at Longford Community Resources during National Volunteer Week. Hearts have been made out of all kinds of arts and crafts materials by our volunteers, members of Longford ICA, the Ballymahon Art Group, LCRL staff and the SICAP Craft Group.
