The Special Olympics Ireland Games will take place next summer between the 14th and 17th June 2018, returning to Dublin for the first time in 16 years.

Special Olympics Ireland is now recruiting volunteers for this huge and unique series of events. The message from Special Olympics Ireland is “Staging these will require the enthusiasm, skills, knowledge, support, and commitment of over 2,500 volunteers. Our athletes deserve the best and that's why we are asking you to help us and volunteer for the games.”

Special Olympics Ireland is inviting prospective volunteers to join them at one of their recruitment open evenings in Dublin where you can find out all you need to know.

These take place as follows:

• Saturday 7th October 11am to 1pm, St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra campus, theatre E-214, Block E
