What we do

The South Tipperary Volunteer Centres provides a placement service between individuals and groups who want to undertake voluntary activities in South Tipperary. We work with individuals to source and secure suitable volunteer opportunities and with community based and not for profit organisations to define roles that could be filled by suitable volunteers.

Our primary function is to match individuals and groups interested in volunteering with appropriate volunteering opportunities. To do this, we offer advice and support to both volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations through a range of services that include information provision, consultation, training and Garda Vetting.

The South Tipperary Volunteer Centres provides an invaluable link between individuals wishing to undertake voluntary activity and organisations seeking to involve volunteers. We believe passionately in the value of volunteering and the benefits of volunteering for all: the individual, the volunteer-involving organisation and the wider society.

In addition to placing volunteers, we stimulate and encourage volunteering by promoting volunteering at a local level in South Tipperay. We work towards breaking down the barriers to volunteering and target specific groups of people who are under- or unrepresented in volunteering. We develop volunteering opportunities through consultation with local voluntary and community organisations and recognise the potential of volunteering. We encourage groups and organisations to think creatively about volunteering and to develop imaginative, non-traditional opportunities for potential volunteers.

In addition, the South TIpperary Volunteer Centres offers tailored and bespoke volunteer management  training to interested groups and organisations.
