Local mental health charity, AWARE NI, has benefitted from £14,000 of support following its tenure as Donnelly Group’s charity partner for 2021-2022.
Fundraising efforts by Donnelly Group, Northern Ireland’s largest independently owned motor retailer, which included a Dragon Boat Race along the River Lagan and a golf day community event with support from local businesses, amounts to £14,356.40, which will go towards helping those struggling with mental health issues across Northern Ireland.
Roisin Donnelly, spokesperson for the Donnelly Group Foundation, said: “As a local company that employs people from all across Northern Ireland, we are committed to making a positive impact in the communities in which our staff work and live.
“AWARE was the charity partner of choice as voted for by employees from across our nine locations, so it has been wonderful to see them show such enthusiasm for the partnership and get involved right from the beginning, with our fundraisers always seeing a fantastic turnout of support from the Donnelly Group team along with their friends and family.
“As our partnership with AWARE draws to an end, as a team we have been able to reflect on how it has helped us boost our own mental health throughout the year, such as through our Sunset Climb to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, and our Mood Walk at Parkanaur Forest Park.”
