Civic

If you decide to pledge to do one of the actions from the Civic list it will not be long before you have a greater feeling of belonging in your local region.
From my experience it is hard to match the feeling you have after you have invested some of your precious time in making your area better. Here are some suggestions of things that you can do to help your communtiy.
1. Give up your seat for elderly or disabled people when travelling on public  transport.
2. Write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs about a humanitarian crisis, ask him what Ireland is doing to help and suggest what we could also be doing.
3.  Become active in your local political party.
4.  Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about an issue you care about.
5. Organise a public issues forum for your community.
6. Vote in all local and national elections.
7. Take a friend to the polling booth to vote who would not vote otherwise.
8. Give blood.
9. Help a blind person cross the road.
10.  Join the Garda reserves / Reserve Defence Force / St John’s ambulance.
11.  Pledge to help Active Alfie!

I always like to say “Civic service is the best service of all” so pledge and be a civic servant!!!
