As with any large-scale project, volunteer support As with any large-scale project, volunteer support is essential to ensure that events can be delivered well, safely and enjoyably. To date, over 300 volunteers have given their time to various events and initiatives as part of #Ballina2023. To mark National Volunteering Week, our Volunteer Co-ordinator Sheila Garvin shares her experience: β€œWhen I started volunteering with the Ballina 2023 team back in April 2022 as Volunteer Coordinator little did I know the extraordinary year that lay ahead….and it’s not over yet! During that time, I have seen and participated in some behind the scenes planning for events large and small, connected with some amazing people, and shared in some unforgettable experiences. I am really looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year of celebration has in store. What I have noticed is that volunteering has really been a lifeline for so many after a hard couple years of isolation. It has brought new residents of Ballina into the heart of the community where previously connections may have been hard to establish. People who are just starting to call Ballina β€˜home’ are making friendships and exploring what they can offer the town..."
