Crime victims support group appeals for volunteers

AN ORGANISATION that has helped 2,000 victims of crime in the past two years says it urgently needs volunteers in the Limerick and Clare areas to keep up with demand.

Support After Crime Services director Sally Hanlon says that, while her organisation has 40 trained volunteers and two administrative support staff covering the Munster area, it needs people to help it in the two counties.

She made the appeal following the announcement that emergency services from all over Munster are to take part in a special fundraiser to provide her organisation with much-needed funds.
