Volunteer Programme
The Daughters of Charity Services for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities Volunteer Programme:
If you are interested in volunteering and have an hour or two to spare why not join the Daughters of Charity Services for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities volunteer programme in one of our centers:

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
A letter from a parent (download letter here) became part of the impetus which led to the formation of the volunteer programme in Lisnagry.
After discussion on the same the Lisnagry Association voted to fund the position of a full-time volunteer co-ordinator who would work with the Daughters of Charity setting up and establishing the volunteer programme in Lisnagry.
The Volunteer Initiative Programme in Lisnagry will involve the development of a long term programme that will recruit, coordinate and manage an infrastructure of volunteer roles that support, assist and improve the quality of life experience for all service users at Lisnagry Anyone interested in volunteering or obtaining information on positions available can contact Gráinne Keane.
