Founded in 2019 by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, the HELP Awards recognise people and organisations making a difference through volunteer action. The awards reflect the wider mission of the Scientology Volunteer Minister programme, created by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, through which trained volunteers provide practical support in communities and during crises. The ceremony underscored the importance of community action and volunteer service in strengthening society. news eua Full details can be found here: https://www.scientologyeurope.org/2026/04/23/dublin-help-awards-community-service-volunteer-recognition-day/.
