The new premises place Offaly Volunteer Centre at the heart of the town, offering a more accessible and welcoming space for volunteers, community groups, partner organisations, and members of the public to connect, seek support, and explore ways to get involved in their local communities.

Offaly Volunteer Centre plays a central role in connecting people with meaningful volunteering opportunities, supporting organisations to recruit and manage volunteers, and promoting a strong culture of civic participation throughout Offaly.
