IN PICTURES: Mid Ulster Volunteer Recruitment Fair
Organisations, community groups and charities attended the fair, promoting the voluntary opportunities within their organisations and recruiting new volunteers. This was also a fantastic opportunity to network and raise awareness of the excellent work being carried out by voluntary organisations locally.
The fair was an ideal opportunity for the local community to find out more about the value of volunteering, in addition to the range of local opportunities available and ways to get involved. Both students and members of the public were able to chat informally with representatives, as well as sign up with the Volunteer Centre and apply for specific volunteering roles and opportunities.

Hide AdBarbara Kennedy, Recruitment and Placement Officer commented: “The Fair was a one of a kind event held in the Mid-Ulster area, supporting the Volunteer Centre’s aim of linking ‘those who want to help’ with ‘those that need help’. The Fair was a great success and we look forward to working closely with partners to host future events and activities that continue to raise the profile of volunteering in the Mid Ulster area.”
Mid Ulster Volunteer Centre would like to thank everyone who attended on the day and acknowledge support from Meadowlane Shopping Centre, Dunnes Stores Magherafelt, Friends of Charis, Q Radio Network and volunteers Sarah and Jean who helped on the day.
