Support Us
North Mayo Heritage Centre CLG is a not-for-profit social enterprise and registered charity. The majority of our funding comes through the Community Services Programme (CSP) which supports community companies and co-operatives to deliver local social, economic and environmental services that tackle disadvantage.
Through our work our aim is to preserve and promote the rich heritage of the region, support local communities, local jobs and volunteers.
There are many ways you can show your support, whether through a one-off donation, joining us as a Friend of North Mayo Heritage Centre, joining our growing team of volunteers, helping us promote the work we do or partnering with us on new initiatives which help us achieve our aims.
All donations directly support our aims and your donation will directly support the work we do. Whatever size, your support makes a huge difference to the North Mayo Heritage Centre. If you’re visiting us you can make donations directly at our reception, or if you would like to make a donation you can contact us.
Volunteer with us
Our volunteers are incredibly important in supporting the work we do and we are always very grateful for every minute they give us. We have a variety of volunteering roles available throughout the year, both in the Centre and in our Organic Garden.
As well as office administration and reception volunteering opportunities, we also have a opportunities in our Organic Garden including general maintenance tasks, planting, weeding and harvesting. We also have opportunities for volunteers to help during our monthly Artisan Food and Craft Markets. Volunteering with a small charity like us means you’ll get to work closely with a small, passionate, dedicated team of people who work hard to make a difference. Your help is invaluable to us so whether you have time to volunteer weekly with regular tasks or one-off on an ad-hoc basis we’d love to have you join us when you can.
