News for Volunteers

Here at Louth Volunteer Centre, we couldn’t be more excited to have spent an incredible week celebrating National Volunteering Week 2025. This year’s theme, ‘Building Community Together’, resonated deeply with all of us as we reflected on the powerful impact of volunteers in shaping and strengthening our local communities.The week was brimming with inspiring events held throughout County Louth. We kicked off the celebrations on Monday, 19th May, with our Annual General Meeting (AGM). A heartfelt thank you to Louth County Council for graciously hosting us in their stunning new building on Fair Street, Drogheda. The AGM provided a perfect moment to come together with some of our outstanding volunteers, board members, local councillors, and key stakeholders. It’s always a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the year gone by, celebrate our collective achievements, and look ahead to the future.During the AGM, we were privileged to hear from a few of our volunteers who shared their personal stories about the impact of their involvement in various projects across the county. Their stories were truly moving, and it was clear that the sense of community and connection fostered through volunteering is something truly special. As we all listened, it became evident that this was exactly what National Volunteering Week is all about: acknowledging and celebrating the selfless contributions of volunteers.

We believe there’s no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by recognising the volunteers who pour their hearts into helping others. That’s why we’re inviting Voluntary & Community Organisations to nominate one of their Louth volunteers who deserves a personal visit and a little extra appreciation this year.
