Our fundraising team have had a very rewarding year of corporate partnerships in 2025 and for the final volunteering day of the year we welcomed the management team of Laya to the Centre.
Through-out the year Laya have made an incredible contribution to Crann. They volunteered in June and got their hands dirty in our gardens planting summer flowers, while in November they took part in preparing the gifts for Christmas at Crann by wrapping all of the presents Santa gifted to the children.
To further deepen our relationship on December 3rd marked International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Laya dedicated the day to promoting awareness, understanding and inclusion for people of all abilities and they invited Eimear Daly, Head of Services at The Crann Centre, and Padraig Mallon CEO, to speak at Laya’s onsite event, organised by their Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Council. Eimear shared her expertise and passion for supporting individuals and families living with neuro-physical disabilities, while Padraig shared the story Crann has gone on up to now serve over 800 families across Cork.
A special thank you to Tom O’Halloran Laya’s Culture Diversity & Inclusion specialist, Erika O’Leary Director, People Culture and Legal and D.O. O’Connor Managing Director, Laya for their commitment and energy to create a meaningful partnership.
