Volunteering

Thinking about volunteering?
There are a few ways to get involved as an Oxfam volunteer.

 

With nearly 1,000 across the island of Ireland, volunteers are the backbone of our network of shops, as well as an important part of the public face of our organisation. In addition to being the lifeblood of our shops, Oxfam volunteers are making a huge impact everyday by supporting in our offices and distribution centre, helping to keep us organised, efficient and effective.  Our volunteers also show up when we need them at fundraising and campaigning events and initiatives. The commitment, enthusiasm and hard work of our amazing volunteers is creating real change in the fight for a just and sustainable world.

“I would say go for it. It's great to meet other people to learn about the charity. Even if it's only for a couple of hours in the week, do it.”
