The Heart of the Community Fund is designed to meet the needs of not-for-profit organisations delivering vital services and supports to people across the island of Ireland.
We are very grateful to be a recipient of an Organisational Investment Grant in 2024 which has assisted us to meet core costs associated with delivering our charitable work. This funding has helped us to onboard new volunteers who are at the heart of the work we do supporting older people in the community.
Thank you to the Ireland Funds and your donors.
“My friend (Making Connections volunteer) takes me out once a week. The chats are marvellous and I have never seen so much of Dublin and Wicklow.”
John 87, who lives alone and doesn’t drive. He is supported by Daniel, Making Connections volunteer who makes sure that he gets out of the house, and has something to look forward to every week.
