National Volunteer Strategy Consultation

Have Your Say on the Future of Volunteering!

Waterford Volunteer Centre invites volunteers and community organisations to take part in upcoming consultations that will help shape both our Strategic Plan and the new National Volunteering Strategy.

The current strategy (2021–2025) is ending, and a new one will soon be developed by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.

These consultations are your chance to share your experiences, challenges, and ideas to ensure local voices influence the future of volunteering in Waterford and Ireland.
