Ireland

Ireland wants to hire a firm to develop a communications campaign to promote its national volunteering strategy.

The firm will show how volunteers are essential to help communities function and grow. “Volunteering benefits large sectors of society in the areas of education, arts, heritage, education, health, sport and the socially marginalised. It also benefits the volunteers themselves by demonstrating how it brings value to their lives,” according to the RFP.

The Government understands that it must not take the work of volunteeers for granted.”Volunteering is not free and it needs to be harnessed, encouraged, supported and also be representative of our diverse communities which make up Irish society.”  

The Department of Rural and Community Development is leading the funding the $25K campaign that will wrap up in September.

Responses are due April 22.
