About SOSAD Carrickmacross

Raise awareness of suicide in Ireland.

Provide support and direction to those feeling suicidal.
Provide support and direction to those approached by someone feeling suicidal.

What's Involved
Sosad would like some enthusiastic, energetic volunteers to assist with their fundraising efforts. Since Covid-19 fundraising requires new ideas as some of the events we used in the past are not possible at the moment. Could you organise a 10K run that participants do individually or as households? Help us run an online fundraiser? Organise a quiz night via Zoom?
Whatever your idea, we would love to talk to you. Get in touch through Monaghan Volunteer Centre and we will arrange a phone or video call to tell you more about Sosad and discuss your fundraising ideas.
What's required for this position
Fundraising can be difficult so volunteers will need to be energetic and enthusiastic! Volunteers should fully understand the service provided by Sosad and be passionate about Sosad's cause.
