 The DCU Volunteer Fair took place here in the DCU Sports Hall in the Glass-Neven campus on Thursday. The event, organised by DCU Volunteering, saw a gathering of several charities, community organisations and NGOs appealing for students to join. Organiser Adam Healy said it was a fantastic opportunity for those present to gain some new members. It was an impressive collection for an impressive university, you know what I mean? As soon as they find out that DCU are having a volunteering fair, they want to come down because they want people to volunteer as much as they can. There's over 40 organisations here today, some are Irish but some here are international, which is great because it gives students an opportunity to maybe travel over the summer to volunteer. Students from across DCU came down throughout the day to have fun, let off a little steam and get to know their new groups. I signed up with the Irish Heart and Stroke Foundation, so I just thought it was a good call to get involved and so I tried it. We're interested in doing maybe photography, volunteering events and stuff like that. I was actually wanting to talk to the active human trafficking, I think there's two old ladies that do it as well and they're gas, like they're so gas, so chatting to them is always good crap as well. And a head start as well, they're their own society now, I think they were willing to act us last year, but they do really good work as well. Students who didn't make it down to the event can get more information about volunteering at studentvolunteer.ie. Alex Dunn, DCUTV News.
