Fundraising
Cuan Mhuire is established as a charitable trust. It welcomes the support of our corporate partners as well as the business community and the public in general in helping us sustain and develop our services – as well as in maintaining our distinctive person-centred ethos.
How can you help
A Local Fundraising Event Is A Great Opportunity Not Only To Meet Up With Friends, But To Raise Much Needed Funds.
Events range from coffee mornings and cake sales to running marathons. Perhaps you have your own fantastic idea of an event that you could organise for Cuan Mhuire. If you are willing to organise any fundraising event, please contact us and we would be delighted to give you all the support, advice and back-up that we can. You may wish to sponsor an event, for example, a golf classic or ‘field day’ organised by Cuan Mhuire.
Corporate support is vital to the success of these events. Once involved, your company can benefit from publicity.
Alternatively, your staff may wish to take part in the event or the running of the event on the day.
We are happy to come and talk to groups of staff, no matter how large or small the group, to tell them about our work and motivate them to get involved or to contribute to the work of Cuan Mhuire. There is always something that you and your friends and colleagues can do. It is an excellent way to enhance the team spirit of your organisation, to raise staff morale and to improve staff communication.
