Volunteer Recruitment 2024
We were blown away with the level of interest there was during our four week open call for volunteers which closed on Sunday 11th August. We now face the challenging task of selecting volunteers from the excellent pool of candidates. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Ticknock at the open day, those who completed the expression of interest form, those who completed the full application form and those who attended the events for prospective volunteers.
