As a company, we want to make a positive difference in Ireland. The Charity Programme gives our colleagues and customers the chance to support a cause that is close to their hearts and benefits the local communities where we work and live.

We value what our teammates value and hence collectively we can do good, give back and change lives. We invite our employees to select their preferred charity, so it has personal meaning to them. The charity with the largest votes is nominated as the preferred charity for an agreed time, often two years, and becomes the sole focus and official charity for our collective fundraising efforts. To ensure we optimise impact, we focus efforts and resources on this one charity.

We encourage all teammates across our business units, whether in Pharmacy, in our Warehouses and Support Office, to organise and participate in fundraising activities and events to raise vital funds for the Charity. We invite members from various departments to champion the fundraising initiatives amongst their teams to encourage engagement and success. In addition to employee and customer contributions, the Company will often support with additional donations to help us reach our ambitious fundraising targets.
