Community Volunteers is a national pilot program that was launched in 2021. It was set up in order to support local events and festivals as well as more urgent community needs. Louth Volunteer Centre is 1 of 10 Volunteer Centres participating in this pilot program. Becoming a Community Volunteer is a great opportunity to get involved in your local community, to learn new skills, learn more about your local area, meet new people and have fun!

Louth Community Volunteers once again tool to the shores of Rockmarshall on the Cooley Peninsula to undertake a group beach clean in partnership with Cooley Peninsula Marine Litter Project. The clean up marked World Earth Day.
We were delighted that some of our Community Volunteers could join the great community effort last night to help get Drogheda ready for the Midsummer Festival in June! Great effort by all involved.

As part of the Drogheda Spring Clean event that took place from the 4th of March to the 6th of March, a group of 7 Louth Community Volunteers went a long on the Sunday to help in the efforts. The group headed out and began doing litter picks across the town and surrounding area. In a 2 hour period the group managed to collect 20 large bags of rubbish.
Our Louth Community Volunteers travelled out to Clogherhead to round out National Volunteering Week 2024 to do a litter pick on the head.
