Policy Statement

As a charity, it is important for Volunteer Ireland to make ethical choices that are in line with the principles of the community and voluntary sector in Ireland, and best practice principles of volunteering. Our values are Inclusion, Respect, Integrity and Courage. These values, along with our core belief that volunteer well-being is at the heart of everything we do, will guide our choices.

Partner Promise
