Volunteering Opportunities

Bucket Shaking

Many of our events require upbeat bucket shakers to help spread awareness and raise funds. This is an invaluable source of fundraising for Dublin Simon.

General Event Support

There are plenty of opportunities for volunteers to get involved in at our different events throughout the year. Ranging from event set-up, stewarding, sign-posting and general support to help our events run as smoothly as possible.

Long Term Volunteer Gay Mooney

My name is Gay and I’ve been volunteering with Dublin Simon for the past 26 years. My favourite part about volunteering is the banter when we’re doing bucket collection during Chritsmas, the people and staff are very friendly. It is also hugely rewarding bumping into clients accessing services years later and finding they are completely different people compared to when I met them.

Get involved with Dublin Simon Community, you’ll have a lot of fun!
