Laura and Richard’s story:
National Volunteering Week Stories
Wanda is the Public Relations Officer (PRO) for Mungret St Pauls GAA club.
“As an Irish person who’s never lived anywhere else, I think it’s great that there’s so many visitors here. It’s my responsibility to welcome people. If it wasn’t for volunteers these things wouldn’t happen. “
“Volunteering has made me realise how helpful a welcoming smile can be and I try to be that person not just at parkrun but also in other aspects of my life. I try to be more friendly and welcoming to people as I know how it feels to be the new person.”
