TOP STORY
 
Volunteering Opportunities with Cork Chamber Charity Members
 

 

Cork Chamber is delighted to launch our new Volunteering Opportunities Brochure, created in collaboration with our charity members. Whether you want to organise a volunteering day for your team or personally give back to the community, this resource showcases a wide range of ways to get involved. From environmental projects to social initiatives there are opportunities to give back, strengthen community connections and build team spirit. Volunteering is not only vital in supporting local organisations, it also creates shared experiences that inspire purpose and wellbeing within the workplace.

 

“Volunteering is such a rewarding way for businesses to give back while also bringing teams closer together. By working with our charity members we are showcasing the many opportunities to make a difference across Cork and I’d encourage all members to get involved in whatever way they can.” – Naoimh Frawley, Director of People, Operations & Governance, Cork Chamber

 

We invite you to explore the brochure and see how your organisation can make a meaningful difference.
