Becoming a Volunteer

The IHF engages a lot with communities all over Ireland who fundraise in aid of out programmes. Our work would not be possible withour the help of our volunteers. We recruit committed members of the communites that we work in to help us with our valuable work.

Happy Heart Weekend

Happy Heart Weekend is our only national fundraising event. It raises over 600,000 each year. Volunteers are people like you and we rely on the help and time of all our volunteers. Each year hundreds of volunteers step onto the streets to raise money for a valuable cause and have a bit of craic around the town! Our volunteers sell Happy Hearts and keyrings in communities all around Ireland. We would love to hear from you, your club or local group and help you get involved with the Irish Heart Foundation. It's up to you how much time you give us - two hours a day or two weeks a year!  More Happy Heart Weekend details are available here

Church Gate Collections

All over the country generous people volunteer at the weekends by collecting funds from fellow local parishoners. This brings in such a condsiderable amount for our foundation that we are looking for more people to help us make this valuable contribution.

We will give you all the support and materials you will need.
