CHILDLINE VOLUNTEERS

The Drogheda branch of the ISPCC is recruiting for our Childline service and our next training course is due to start at the end of September. We recruit volunteers from all over the Louth and Meath area and are eager to add to our fantastic team. We are currently recruiting volunteers for Monday and Tuesday afternoons. The first step in becoming a volunteer is to attend an informatio­n evening (on one of a choice of evenings).

This is an opportunit­y for people to come along and hear about the service, and what is involved in volunteeri­ng. They would also have a chance to hear from an already active volunteer. I have scheduled these for Monday 18th and Wednesday 20th June.

All sessions will begin at 6.30pm, and anyone interested is invited to attend. They will be held at our office here in Drogheda (Distillery House, Dyer Street, Drogheda, Co Louth). Anyone interested in attending one of the informatio­n evenings should contact me on 041-9809964 or dlambe@ispcc.ie to book a place.
