Áras Mhuire & Ard Chúram Day Centre both announced that it has received an award of €28,000 from the third annual AIB Community €1 Million Fund, to help with its work in the Listowel  community.

Over the last two years, the AIB Community €1 Million Fund has supported over 150 charities across Ireland.

Earlier this year, AIB asked its customers, the wider public, and staff to again nominate registered charities, that connect with causes that matter most to them and their communities, in the AIB Community €1 Million Fund.

To those charities chosen by the customers and wider public, AIB is allocating €700,000 across the four provinces and a separate category for charities in the greater Dublin area, while €300,000 will be donated to charities chosen by employees.

Speaking about receipt of the award, Finbarr Mawe, Chairperson of Ard Chúram Day Centre said: “We are thrilled to receive this funding from the AIB Community €1 Million Fund, which is crucial for maintaining the services we offer to our community. AIB’s ongoing support for local organisations is invaluable, and we have witnessed the positive impact on other local groups that received funding last year.”

Trish Parkes, Manager of Áras Mhuire added; “The public’s nomination makes this particularly special for us. It’s touching because it shows that our efforts in the community are being acknowledged. Thank you to everyone who is involved in Áras Mhuire and a special thanks to AIB for setting up this important fund.”
