The event took place at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin. Rather than concentrating on a single form of aid, the programme reflected the variety of ways local groups respond to social needs.
Cllr. Francis Timmons, Mayor of South Dublin, discussed the Dublin work of Clondalkin Helping Homeless and its support for people experiencing homelessness and hardship.
Viktor Kozyrev, co-founder of VOLA Enable, focused on the organisation's work with people with disabilities and its emphasis on independence and participation.
Silvia Fani introduced participants to the activities of Scientology Volunteer Ministers, including community projects and responses to emergencies.
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme was founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the 1970s as an initiative for practical assistance to individuals and communities. Its motto is “Something Can Be Done About It.”
Participants concluded part of the programme with a practical workshop demonstrating methods associated with Volunteer Minister training.
The gathering underlined the role that volunteers, civic organisations and religious communities can each play in supporting people facing difficult circumstances.
