hello. so, the national day of volunteering - 'give it a swirl day' - takes place on friday 26th september. the day concentrates on hands-on involvement rather than fundraising, giving people a taster of volunteering. you can find listings of the volunteer projects organised for the day on www.volunteer.ie or www.giveitaswirl.ie, or organise your own project. alternatively, you can volunteer on the day by giving blood (http://www.ibts.ie/) or by taking part in the hope foundation's fast (http://www.hopefoundation.ie/).

Giving blood is great. Free cakes and Guiness and a good deed buzz.

I didn't realise about the fundraising aspect too. the Volunteer Ireland website is good, I use it all the time to get people to assist with community groups I work with

i brought some of my blood down to the mobile blood van in a lucozade bottle and they didn't want it. ungrateful fuckers
