Donegal Women's Centre to fund new heating system via AIB Community Fund award

The Donegal Women’s Centre has been awarded €3,500 from the AIB Community €1 Million Fund.

The award is to help with its work in the Letterkenny community and the county of Donegal.

 “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,” Donegal Women’s Centre Manager Mary Herlihy said.

“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.

“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 the Donegal Women’s Centre and a special thanks to AIB for setting up this important fund. 

“Our counselling rooms, which are providing a very valuable space for women, need a new heating system and this funding will support the completion of this project.”

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.
