VolunteerExpo
The Joy Of Giving
The Curragh Racecourse, Co. Kildare is set to become the home of one of Ireland’s largest volunteering events in 2026.
Taking place on Wednesday, 30th September 2026, VolunteerExpo will welcome visitors from across the country to explore, connect, and discover the power of volunteering. Bringing together a cross-section of society, the event promotes meaningful opportunities for individuals, communities, and organisations alike.
What’s on at the VolunteerExpo?
At the heart of VolunteerExpo is a vibrant exhibition featuring charities, non-profit organisations, and community groups, all showcasing ways to get involved and make a difference.
Whether you’re taking your first steps into volunteering or already actively involved, there is something for everyone at VolunteerExpo.
Volunteers are all unique, different ages, experiences, and skills, but what unites them is a shared sense of purpose, compassion, and a spirit of giving.
VolunteerExpo is co-located with Ireland’s National Transition Year Event — the TY Show 2026
