Community Connect

Corporate Volunteering

We offer an innovative, interactive and rewarding opportunity for your staff to get involved and make a real difference by doing something practical for mothers and babies – our main activities are sorting and packing up clothes, nappies and essentials and organizing buggies and cots for the families we support.

Your employees will love our fun-filled and hands-on volunteering days!

To discuss volunteering opportunities in partnership with Community Connect, please contact us at fundraising@communityconnect.ie or find us on neighbourly or benevity.

Where possible, we recommend a suggested donation of €25 per participant who comes to our hub, to help cover our costs. This can be covered by donations of baby items brought by employees on the day, or by a monetary donation.
