Monaghan Volunteer Centre will work with any not-for-profit organisation – this may include charities, community groups, co-operatives and statutory organisations such as HSE nursing homes, schools, hospitals, etc. If you are not sure if we can work with your group please get in touch to find out.
Occasionally, we may ask to see your constitution or set of rules to clarify if we can work with you. We will not seek volunteers for individuals or for-profit organisations or companies.
Monaghan Volunteer Centre can provide advice and guidance, or access to information, on a range of issues related to managing volunteers. This might relate to information & support on recruitment of volunteers, how to motivate volunteers, dealing with difficult situations etc. This support is available on request so please feel free to contact us by phone or by email. We can also signpost you to other organisations that might be useful.
Monaghan Volunteer Centre provides a Garda Vetting service to smaller non-profit organisations that do not have access to their own Liaison Person. A Liaison Person is someone who has been trained by An Garda Siochana in the correct administration of Garda Vetting. Because not all small organisations are able to access this Garda training, we may act as Liaison Person on their behalf. We require all new affiliate organisations to attend Garda Vetting training with us before using this service. The training is free of charge. Please contact Sinéad Keenan or Grace Sherry for enquiries about Garda Vetting.
Organisations that work with children or families have important obligations under the Children First Act 2015 and Children First National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children. Tusla has many useful resources on its website, including online training. For general information in relation to Children First, please visit: TUSLA CHILDREN FIRST
You can find the Tusla E-Learning “Introduction to Children First” at INTRODUCTION TO CHILDREN FIRST
Further resources provided by Tusla in relation to child protection can be downloaded as a PDF here: Children First Resource List 2023

Volunteer Ireland and Volunteer Centres are independent of Government, political parties and interest groups. As such, we maintain ideological and political neutrality. Our mission is to promote the value of volunteering and increase the range and quality of volunteering in Ireland. Any organisation wishing to recruit volunteers may do so through our online database, I-VOL, once they meet the terms and conditions of I-VOL. The advertising of a volunteer opportunity on behalf of an organisation does not imply any endorsement of the aims and objectives of the organisation. We believe that volunteering should be accessible and inclusive. Our role is to ensure that anyone who wants to volunteer can volunteer
