    Hi all,

    Would just like to let anyone who has just started TY/any TY teachers know that Give it a Swirl Day, the National Day of Volunteering, will take place on September 26th. Give it a Swirl Day is being organised by Volunteer Centres Ireland (VCI), in conjunction with 17 local volunteer centres across the country.

    Give it a Swirl Day is a day of hands-on participation in volunteering projects. Everyone is welcome to take part, by organising their own project or by taking part in a project organised by their local volunteer centre. TY students might be particularly interested, as TY is a great opportunity to get involved in volunteering and learn about the voluntary sector in Ireland.

    Give it a Swirl Day is an opportunity to make a difference in your local community while having lots of fun, working as a team and discovering the rewards of volunteering. How you choose to mark Give it a Swirl Day is up to you and depends on your interests, your skills and the needs of your local community. VCI and the local volunteer centres are happy to advise anyone wishing to organise a Give it a Swirl Day project. Ideas and inspiration can also be found by logging onto www.giveitaswirl.ie, where you will find details of projects which are taking place across the country.

    There is still plenty of time to put together a Give it a Swirl Day project and help improve public awareness of volunteering in Ireland.

    If you've any questions about the National Day of Volunteering or about taking part as a TY group, leave a post or email giveitaswirl@volunteer.ie!

    All the best,

    VCI.
