AROUND 30 people from around Tralee were honoured for their volunteer work on Friday morning at the Tralee Wetlands.
The event was a Valuing Volunteer Coffee Morning organised by the Kerry Volunteer Centre to mark National Volunteer Week which is running from May 12 to May 18.
Those present enjoyed an al fresco lunch with cakes, teas and coffees.
“We’ve had loads of support for the event,” said Geraldine Sheehan, Manager of Kerry Volunteer Centre. “It’s an event to give thanks to all our volunteers from all over Kerry. We’ve been hosting events like this all week around the county. Thankfully Tralee Bay Wetlands and Classic Cupcakes have been great to supply the food, teas and coffees.”
“Volunteers give so much but are not appreciated enough, so we wanted to express our thanks to them. It’s an honour to do it for them,” said Geraldine.
The Kerry Volunteer Centre Tralee branch is located in Maine Street, Tralee.
