Ireland’s
first National Volunteering Week takes place from May 14th – 20th
and throughout
the week, hands-on volunteering projects will take place right across
the county, co-ordinated by the Mayo Volunteer Centre.
And
Claremorris Community Radio is getting involved too!
As
part of the week-long event, Claremorris Community Radio volunteers
will spend two days (Monday May 14th
and Tuesday May 15th)
of hard graft painting and redecorating the station to help give the
radio station a new lease of life!
An
information evening will take place in Claremorris Community Radio on
Thursday 17th
May between 5 – 9pm. This is open to all members of the public who
are interested in finding out more about the radio station and
learning about how to get involved.
Refreshments
will be served on the night.
A
special one-hour programme will also be aired on Claremorris
Community Radio 94.6fm during Volunteer Week, featuring interviews
with Shauna Jackson – manager of Volunteer Mayo, as well as locals
who volunteer in various ways around Mayo and abroad.
