We are excited to partner with Applegreen as one of their chosen charities for 2021 – 2022. Enable Ireland and Applegreen have extended our partnership into 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Applegreen staff and customers have provided fantastic support for our services throughout this time. Enable Ireland is receiving support from Applegreen through their Charitable Fund.
One of the projects supported by Applegreen's Charitable Fund is our Respite House in Rathmore, Wicklow. Luke Mannering is an Enable Ireland Service Owner, and attends Rathmore House regularly. Luke is also an Applegreen employee! Click here to read Luke's story.
Enable Ireland provides essential therapy and support services to over 13,000 children and young people with disabilities, and their families. One of the vital services we provide is Respite Care for over 500 children and their families every year. For children with disabilities, these breaks away from home are often their first taste of independence.
Speaking at the launch of the partnership, Enable Ireland CEO John O’Sullivan said: “We are delighted to have been selected as one of Applegreen’s chosen charities. Support from Applegreen’s staff and customers will go towards our respite services and enable us to provide the best possible support to the children and young people in our care.”
