How can I help?
Share needs people to help out in all areas on site from helping our core of highly skilled staff run a variety of activities to helping in the kitchens or bar to caring for or befriending some of our many elderly or special needs guests. You do not need to have qualifications or previous experience to get involved. We believe that everybody has something to share and no matter where your skills or interests lie we will be very grateful for whatever it is you have to give.
Who will I be working with?
Share works closely with many different groups and societies every year. Many of our 10,000 guests come from the M.S. Society, the Down Syndrome Society, the Muscular Dystrophy Society, the B. C. N. I., the R. N. I. D. as well as primary and secondary school groups, youth groups, church groups, scouts and guides and many, many more. All in all we work with a very diverse range of people for whom we need a diverse range of volunteers.
When does Share need me?
Share needs volunteers all the time. Whatever time you can give will be very much appreciated. A week, a weekend, even a day; we will always be glad of the extra help. Any time on your hands is time, which the Share Centre and its guests can use. For young people participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, volunteering at the Share Centre meets the "residential" requirements of the award. Volunteers are welcomed for a minimum of one week to act as carers/companions to guests.
What's in it for me?
Share offers not only food, accommodation, and travel expenses but also comprehensive t training, in many cases leading to N. G. B. qualifications and the opportunities to meet a huge variety of people of all ages and abilities from all around the world and make lifelong friends. You will be helping people and learning lots of new skills and you get all this on the beautiful shore of Lough Erne.
