hi guys a have notices as have everyone there are a lot more people with nothing to go due to the recession and people are getting very agitated and fed up. if any of you out there are reading this and agreeing why dont you consider volunteering with one of the many organisations around the city and fill some of your time doing good work that your bound to enjoy. in particular there are loads of youth projects calling out for people to lend a hand and bring their own skills to the table be it helping with homework (any way at all is appretiated) or if you have a specific interest in sports or art etc. its great fun and you can benifical to the young people and the community as well as good experience.
the waterford regional youth services main office is in the Edmund Rice Youth and Community centre on Manor street next to railway square (big green builidng with loads of window, the old manor school)
if anyone is interested they can pop in to speak to staff or can call the manor street youth project directly on 0866018961 (ask for mary or phil)

hope someone out there will find this useful

Nice speelling

I think it's a good idea from the OP though, I can see how easy it could be to get stuck in a rut of being fed up/disheartened/isolates/depressed after losing a job, whereas who knows the opportunities that volunteering could open up right place, right time etc.

what an exciting life a person must have to care about capital letters on a message board.

nope volunteer work is offering you time for free so it would not effect your dole at all. i was a volunteer for 3 years previously and during that time had 6 months unemployed and it didnt affect payments at all. if anything its a bonus for job interviews as it should social skills and an interest in people particularly if your wanting to go into the social sector.
