Payroll-giving or matching donations
Payroll-giving is a simple and effective way for employees to make regular payments to a charity directly from their salary. This is when a business commits to matching a certain amount because their employees donate/volunteer/fundraise for ALONE. If you are interested, please contact us at fundraising@alone.ie.
Shared skills
ALONE have more than 50 staff members working in technology, finance, fundraising, communications, social care, volunteer support and housing.
It is important for our staff to continue to improve their skills so that they can provide the best service for the older people we support. If your company can provide training in an area that would enhance our skills, we would love to hear from you! If you are interested, please contact us at fundraising@alone.ie.
Corporate Volunteering
ALONE Corporate Maintenance Days offer the opportunity to improve the lives of older people living in our Supported Housing while also providing your team with time away from their regular day to work on practical projects including painting, gardening and minor building work. We can take groups of up to 15 volunteers for these days which will run from 9:30am – 15:30pm. The main locations for our Corporate Maintenance Days are Willie Bermingham Place, Kilmainham Lane, Dublin 8 or ALONE Walk, Artane, Dublin 5. We do require a donation for this volunteering opportunity which will cover all costs of the day.
Volunteering at our housing units can be a great day out for employees to meet some of the older people we support. We hold maintenance days all year round. For more information, please contact the Fundraising team at fundraising@alone.ie.
