Every year in Ireland almost 9,000 people die from heart disease and stroke and a further hundreds of thousands are living with a heart condition or the life-long effects of a stroke.
The Irish Heart Foundation is a community of people who fight to protect and care for every heart affected by heart disease or stroke in Ireland and support those living with these life-changing conditions.
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do and we couldn’t do it without your support.
At the Irish Heart Foundation, we offer a range of support services to help improve the quality of life and well-being of people and their carers after a heart event or stroke.
From simply phoning someone for a chat, to providing vital peer support or driving a vulnerable stroke patient to their support group, your act of kindness can make a real difference.
We are always looking for volunteers to help us with our work.
“ I find ringing members weekly for a social chat so enjoyable I really look forward to it, it’s one small way to give back but it is hugely rewarding”
Listed below are a variety of flexible volunteer roles we are currently recruiting for:
“ I enjoy advocating for young stroke survivors, having our voices heard and helping to drive change for the better to live well after stroke”
