Wealth in Ireland is very unevenly divided, and many marginalised groups are as needy as ever. Those with special needs, young people at risk, and older people in Ireland are finding difficulty meeting their needs in the Ireland of today.

Many of the organisations that act as advocates for the marginalised require volunteers to realise their important work.
