...as a volunteer elf

Galway Giving Tree runs on seasonal spirit. And elves. Many elves.

Giving Tree elves are volunteers who turn up on collection day, helping to collect gifts from host businesses around Galway city and checking the lists (twice!) back in the GGT grotto before gifts are despatched to agencies. It’s a great way to get into the festive mood, meet some fellow elves and help a worthy cause.

We have a limited number of spots for host businesses, if we have availability one of our elves will be in contact. This year there is a lot of demand on support services and our charity partners are always grateful for donations:
