Limerick St. Vincent de Paul fun run ‘to support those who need it most’
SVP launches volunteer drive alongside community fun run in Mungret Park
THE SOCIETY of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) has launched a new volunteer recruitment drive to coincide with their annual fun run.
Mungret Park will host the fun run on Sunday, October 19.
Their volunteer recruitment hopes to help SVP to offer practical help and bring dignity to people experiencing poverty and hardship.
The fun run will begin at 1pm on October 19 and it will offer routes suitable for all ages and abilities, aiming to raise vital funds to support SVP’s work in Limerick and beyond.
SVP national president and Limerick native, Teresa Ryan, said, “The SVP Fun Run is more than just a sporting event, it is about neighbours, families and friends coming together in solidarity to support those who need it most.”
Participants of the fun run can sign up now at www.svpfunrun.ie.
As a part of their volunteering drive, SVP are inviting people in every community to get involved and to help try and make a real difference.
