Dell Limerick Volunteers at the Midwest Regional Office
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a practise that is as beneficial to a company as it is to a charity or local community...
The MS Ireland Midwest Regional Office recently played host to some very enthusiastic and hard-working volunteers from Dell Limerick as part of their CSR project.
The day was organised by Ciara Hogan of Dell. Ciara’s sister Neasa is a Getting the Balance Right Physiotherapist; the hugely popular exercise programme run by MS Ireland through our regional offices and voluntary Branches.
“All the volunteers worked very hard, power hosing, painting main reception room, and cleaning outside of our building. There was a great atmosphere and the sun was shining on the day. Our entrance, decking and main reception area was – looking better than the day we moved in – was like a dream come true for us.”
Carol and Angela, Midwest Regional Office
We are delighted that Dell Limerick chose to engage with MS Ireland and the volunteer crew will be back in the Midwest Regional Office soon to continue their great work!
The volunteers: Ciara Hogan, Eoghan Deegan, Andy Costelloe, Ciaran Crotty, Mike Kavanagh, Bobby Sexton, Brendan Boland, Jay Coleman, Kevin Browne, Liam Wallace, John Fleming, Kevin O’Connell, Niall Shanahan, Aminata Leye, Niall Keating, Dermot Walsh, Andrey Chikunov.
