Supporting Our Wellbeing and Resilience as Volunteers
Wednesday 19th May 11am-12pm
The theme of National Volunteer Week 2021 is “Health and Wellness”.
South Leinster Volunteer Centres are taking this opportunity promote self-care and the positive wellbeing of our volunteers. Volunteers give so much of themselves for others but need to take steps to look after their own wellbeing too.
This ONLINE workshop is designed to give volunteers the tools to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.
