Weekend Volunteer Work in Dungarvan

brian1991

Hey everyone,
I'm a college student but am back in Dungarvan on weekends and was wondering about doing volunteer work on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm also be interested in getting a part-time job, but for the moment I'd like to get your view on volunteering in Dungarvan.
There seems to be few places to volunteer, so what do you think of these options? They all seem good to me:

St Vincent's Hospital (not sure if they take volunteers)
The retirement home beside it
Riverside veterinary clinic (was there in TY for work-experience but again I'm not sure if they accept volunteers.
Irish Wheelchair Association shop.
St Vincent de Paul shop.

Can anybody think of any others or have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Cool. Are there any animal welfare societies in Dungarvan? It would be great to help animals, but the only place I can think of to do this is Riverside.
