Cuidiú Cork is entirely volunteer run - and we couldn’t do what we do without people like you. Whether you’d like to host a group, bake for an event, or help behind the scenes, we’re so grateful for your support.
Everyone has something to offer, and every bit helps!
Ways to Get Involved
You can support us in lots of ways, whether it’s once a week or once a year:
Host or co-host a group (e.g. toddler groups, Bumps & Babes, coffee mornings)
Lend a hand at seasonal events - bake, set up, face paint, help with crafts
Support behind the scenes – admin, design, fundraising, or promotion
Join the Committee – help steer and manage what we do
Train as a Supporter – become a Breastfeeding Counsellor, Parent Supporter, or Antenatal Teacher (training is available after 6+ months of membership). Contact us if you want to know more.
Volunteers vs Helpers - What’s the Difference? Both are valued and we’re grateful for every helping hand!
