A collection of short stories from across County Waterford, told by volunteers to inspire volunteers. Each story is unique, just like the people who shared it. Volunteers are everyday people like you and me: our neighbours, friends, and the familiar faces we pass on the street, at the sports clubs, or walking along the beach. They come from all backgrounds, but share one thing in common: they feel at home in this county and are happy to give something back. See our new Volunteer Story book below to start reading.
Tell a friend about volunteering, talk about the stories, share a photo from the exhibition or wherever you read the booklet using #volunteerwaterford and #WFORDstories2026.
If you already volunteer, share your story with us. If you would like to get involved, connect with Waterford Volunteer Centre.
Let’s write the story of volunteering together!
