About Us

Vision Our community is enriched by the benefits of volunteeringPurposeValues

What We Do

Louth Volunteer Centre is an independent and free matching service to encourage more people to become involved in volunteering across the county. We aim to promote, support and encourage volunteering and good practice in volunteering. Our role is to provide information and advice to people interested in volunteering and to organisations looking for volunteers. Louth Volunteer Centre acts as link between such organisations and individuals. We will advertise vacancies, advise people on their options and help organisations support their volunteers by adopting principles of best practice.

Where We Work

Louth Volunteer Centre was initially established as Drogheda Volunteer Centre by a group of community volunteers associated with Drogheda Community and Voluntary Forum to support the development of volunteering infrastructure in the area. It was officially opened by President Mary McAleese in 2003.It was incorporated as a company in 2005. In 2010 the service expanded to become Louth Volunteer Centre and since then has operated with offices in Drogheda and Dundalk and regular outreach services in Ardee and Omeath. Louth Volunteer Centre is responsible for administering the I-VOL national volunteering database for County Louth. We are also active on all social media platforms.

Who We Work With

Louth Volunteer Centre is a member of a national network of Volunteer Centres – by the end of 2021 there will be a Volunteer Centre in every county in Ireland, 28 in total, all of whom are affiliated to Volunteer Ireland. Our affiliation to Volunteer Ireland affords us access to I-VOL, the national volunteering database, which we manage at local level.

Since establishment as Louth Volunteer Centre we have been the hub for volunteering in County Louth and are highly regarded and recognised at local community and statutory level. Louth Volunteer Centre has a history of being a progressive organisation working collegially and collaboratively with colleagues at local and national level to advance the cause of volunteering and its enriching benefits for both individual and community. 

We offer a support and guidance service to individuals and Volunteer Involving Organisations (VIOs) to reach their individual and collective goals while making a significant contribution to their local community and society; and advocate on behalf of volunteers and volunteering in County Louth at local and national level.
