The event took place at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin. Speakers represented several areas of community work, providing participants with a broader picture of humanitarian activity in and around Dublin.

Among the speakers was South Dublin Mayor Cllr. Francis Timmons, who presented the practical assistance provided through Clondalkin Helping Homeless.

Viktor Kozyrev, co-founder of VOLA Enable, explained how VOLA Enable works to reduce barriers faced by people with disabilities and encourage fuller participation in community life.

The programme also included a presentation by Silvia Fani on the local and international work of Scientology Volunteer Ministers.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard established the Volunteer Ministers programme in the 1970s, developing an approach based on practical action and personal assistance. Its motto is “Something Can Be Done About It.”

The afternoon also included a hands-on workshop introducing some of the techniques taught to Volunteer Scientology Ministers.

The gathering underlined the role that volunteers, civic organisations and religious communities can each play in supporting people facing difficult circumstances.
