Email volunteering evening Tuesday 2nd

As our email support service grows, so too does the number of people needed to reply to emails. So far, Aware staff and helpline volunteers have done this but we're now looking for new volunteers specifically for the email support service.

To give you a better idea of what's involved, we're holding an open evening in our Dublin head office (map) on Tuesday 2 November. Starting at 6pm, our Helpline Manager will give an introduction to the service and what's involved in volunteering, as well as answering any questions you might have. There will be two or more of these sessions before the evening finishes around 8pm.

If you're interested, please do come along. Volunteering can be very rewarding and your words could give someone hope and comfort when they're at their lowest. As one of our helpline volunteers put it:

"People reach out to Aware in what sometimes can be their darkest hour and to be able to bring some peace and ease from their pain for the short time that they speak with us is indeed a privilege."

Hope to see you there. If you can't make it, just follow this link for more information and an application form to download. Applications for the next training sessions will close on Friday 12th November, with interviews planned for the following week.
