Clare European Volunteering Capital 2027

County Clare has been named European Volunteering Capital for 2027 — a prestigious European title awarded to just one location each year in recognition of outstanding, sustainable and community-led volunteering.     The programme, delivered in partnership with Clare County Council and eleven partner organisations, will officially launch on January 31st next year, with events, European study visits, a Volunteer Festival Weekend and a major focus on recognising the thousands of people who give their time across the county.     Alan Morrissey was joined by Sharon Meaney, Manager of Clare Volunteer Centre, to hear what the title means for Clare and what’s being planned for 2027.
