It is our honour and privilege to support organisations that do invaluable work in our society. This month, we were glad to be able to donate 10,000 facemasks to enable The Children’s Society to continue its important work. The Children’s Society helps children to escape and recover from extremely challenging situations, giving them a new start in their lives.
Social Value
Donating £10,000 to KidsOut
We are very proud to have supported the charity KidsOut. We believe that our donation of £10,000 and all the individual gift contributions of our team to the Giving Tree have helped to bring joy to children in refuge homes over the festive season.
Donating 200,000 Face Masks
This year we donated an incredible 200,000 facemasks to charities, schools, nursing homes, and organisations across the UK & Ireland. This feat would not have been possible without the amazing work of our people, who took time to travel and personally deliver each donation. The book doesn’t stop here as we plan to continue our campaign into 2021
Bidvest Noonan Sponsor UL President’s Dinner 2020
We are honoured to be the main sponsor for the University of Limerick President’s dinner again this year. Each year, this event raises funds for scholarships that enable people to move a step closer to pursuing their dreams. This year’s celebration will fund music scholarships. UL is home to the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance and it produces outstanding musicians every year. We are very proud to support them and we are looking forward to attending. It promises to be a fantastic occasion!
Dogs for the Disabled
This is Lana. Lana is in training to be a ‘Dogs for the Disabled’ assistance dog.
She is learning to carry out a range of practical tasks to assist profoundly disabled children and adults. She will help them to achieve greater independence and live fuller live.
Our own Sarah Scanlon is housing Lana while she undergoes her training.
‘Dogs for the Disabled’ relies on people like Sarah to help them to raise, train and care for these dogs over their entire lifetime. Dogs like Lana are provided to those who need them free of charge and ‘Dogs for the disabled’ don’t receive any government funding.
To help this charity do their work, Sarah is selling cards & calendars on their behalf:
- Pack of 8 – €5
- 2020 Calendars – €8

Supporting Focus Ireland’s Fight Against Homelessness
Bidvest Noonan is supporting the annual Focus Ireland ‘Sponsor a Star’ campaign. This year, we have sponsored a gold star on their Christmas tree on Grafton Street.
Three families become homeless in Ireland every day, and by sponsoring a gold star, we are helping Focus Ireland change the lives of people who are homeless and in need of our help in the run up to Christmas and into the New Years. Last year, Focus Ireland supported more than 500 families out of homelessness. We hope that with our support they will reach even more families, children, and young people and help them move into a home of their own.
We are delighted to play our part in Ireland’s fight against the homelessness crisis.
