The weather is getting better and it is a nice excuse to get involved doing some outdoor volunteering. It is so easy to make a difference and help charities or institutions that rely on donations or volunteers to get by.
Volunteering is one of the most rewarding experiences and if you follow your heart there are plenty of organisations that will be delighted to count on you.
The environment and wild life preservation are very important for me so I chose this line of work as part of my regular volunteering. I’ve been lucky to get involved with the Irish Seal Sanctuary and share some wonderful experiences organising seal releases around the Dublin coast. I also take part in Bull Island Action Group to help preserve the amenities around North Bull Island. However, if releasing seals back to the wild or cleaning the beach is not your thing there is many others organisations that will be happy to have you.
To make it really easy for you I did some research I want to share with you.
Happy volunteering!
