Opportunities for Service

4th Year Social Outreach

Through our social outreach we seek to foster a sense of value and a commitment to the service of others. This community based work increases social awareness and social competence. It allows for growth in maturity and confidence and for a greater appreciation for others and the world in which we live.

Transition Years participate in a variety of outreach and community activities throughout the year including the following:

Three timetabled periods per week taking part in community based work in local schools and hospitals.
Daily volunteer work in local nursing homes and hospitals.
Weekly volunteer work on the Friend’s of the Elderly Friendship line.
Charity work for a variety of charities involving bag packs, street collections, church gate collections and carol singing.
St. Vincent de Paul toy appeal.
A timetabled two week social outreach placement.
