Welcome to our February Newsletter. It's a big month for us as we host our Volunteer EXPO on Thursday, February 26th in Fairgreen Green Shopping Centre. KCLR will be joining us on the day and it is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in volunteering to meet with organisations that need volunteers. It is also brilliant for volunteer involving organisations to meet with potential volunteers and speak on KCLR about their organisations. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
If you are interested in volunteering, you can browse the full list of volunteer opportunities through our website www.volunteercarlow.ie . You can contact us on 059 9173033.
