Waterford Volunteer centre needs yarn
Some of those involved with the Waterford Volunteer Centre.
Waterford Volunteer centre has put a call-out on social media asking people to consider donating yarn to the group.
The centre facilitates a crochet group which makes blankets for Waterford Hospice.
According to the post, the group have already donated two blankets to Waterford Hospice and want to continue the project.
They said: "If you have any spare yarn at home (leftovers, odd ball, or ones you've been meaning to use for ages) we'd be delighted to give them a good purpose."
The group also stated that any yarn can be donated no matter the colour or texture. Waterford Volunteer Centre provides a placement service, matching individuals who would like to volunteer, with non-profit organisations who involve volunteers in their activities.
"We offer advice and support to both volunteers and non-profit organisations through a range of services including information, consultation, volunteer management training and Garda vetting administration," they said in their post.
The organisation's latest project celebrates 2026 being the International Year of Volunteering - they are asking people to volunteer for 26 hours this year - just a little over two hours per month.
The post advises people who would like to donate their yarn to email anna@volunteerwaterford.ie or call 083 1586061.
