We are delighted to announce that Irish Life Staff Charities donated an incredible total of €370,800 to two Irish charities. The funds were raised throughout 2020 by employees through various fundraising initiatives undertaken and the amount was then matched by Irish Life to reach this final total.

Despite everything 2020 threw at the world, one thing above all others continued to stand firm; Irish Life staffs support for the wider community. Irish Life’s two chosen Staff Charities for 2020, Barretstown and Laura Lynn, along with many others faced massive funding challenges as they were no longer able to run their normal fundraising events. However, Irish Life staff stood up and gave generously to every virtual event over the course of the year. Throughout the year, Irish Life staff ran online yoga, virtual coffee mornings and online bingo events. The company ended the year on a high with a fabulous online concert from The Coronas where staff raised €15,000. Despite everything, Irish Life staff once again exceeded the previous year's target, raising €185,400 for each charity! This is just an incredible amount of money for both Charities and will help provide support services and equipment needs. |
The Charities
Each year, the Irish Life Staff Charities committee shortlists a number of Irish charities to receive donations collected throughout the year and the final two are selected by Irish Life employees. In 2020, the charities chosen were Barretstown and Laura Lynn.
