Special Olympics need volunteer collectors for charity day

SPECIAL Olympics Ireland needs your support for their upcoming Collection Day which will take place on 20th April.

3,000 volunteers are required, from all across Ireland, to help the charity raise €600,000 in vital funding. Special Olympics Ireland is a sports organisation for people with an intellectual disability.

More than 8,500 athletes benefit from the sports training programmes and competitions provided by Special Olympics Ireland in clubs throughout the country every day. The money raised on annual Collection Day will help the charity maintain and further develop these crucial programmes.

Volunteers, business and community groups are working hard to organise events like coffee mornings and sponsored walks in preparation for the upcoming collection day. Supermarkets, shops and streets will be full of Special Olympics volunteers and representatives, singing, shaking and smiling from 7:00am during one of the largest organised nationwide fundraising events of 2018.
