Overview We are committed to making a positive impact on our communities by creating everyday opportunities to make sustainable living commonplace for everyone in Ireland.
In 2021 we: Announced the transformation of our site in Galway into a dedicated civic arts space for cultural purposes, as part of a planned redevelopment project. Joined Ireland’s largest pollination project and supported Gaisce - the President’s Award Challenge 35th Anniversary of ‘Bulbs for Bees’. We delivered more than 1,000 packs of spring bulbs to schools, youth and adult organisations across the country. These were carefully chosen to attract bees for pollination and we invited all generations to plant and share pictures. We also planted the bulbs on some of our own grounds. Participated in the judging panel of ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Award which recognises local environmental projects and raises awareness in schools and communities. Donated a further 15 ‘Re-Cycled’ delivery bikes as part of our contribution to the circular economy as we increasingly move towards electric vehicles. A total of 49 robust cargo bikes have been refurbished and donated to homeless charities and other organisations. These have been particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic as they have helped outreach workers bring services to clients.
