Volunteer with Solas

The Solas Centre Waterford requires volunteers

The Solas Centre Waterford provides the highest quality cancer support services to people of Waterford and the South East. These support services include counselling, relaxation therapies and group support services which are provided at the Solas Centre. We provide those affected by cancer, their families and carers with a safe place; a place to talk things over, to relax and express emotions. We could not provide these services without the support of our volunteer colleagues.

Volunteer Testimonial
My name is Frances and I am a volunteer with the Solas Centre for the last 5 years.
The benefit of being a volunteer in the Solas Centre for me is I feel I am doing something that matters.
It provides me with a great sense of accomplishment and pride, plus it’s a feel good factor to be part of such a worthy organisation and to work with a great team of people.
Volunteering is very rewarding and fulfilling and what better way is there to connect with the community and give a little back……..
