Registration form to pledge kms to goal
In total, over the past 9 years, we have raised more than €2.4 million euro for our charity partners. Three new charity partners were selected in 2022 based on the health and wellbeing theme, as chosen by our colleagues. The Marie Keating Foundation is our Republic of Ireland partner, Leukaemia Care is our partner in Great Britain and Air Ambulance NI in Northern Ireland. Together we are partnering to save lives.
Our people generate all sorts of unique fundraising ideas, and our teams have a great culture of getting involved, having lots of fun and raising money for our charity partners. It is a fantastic way to have fun with colleagues, engage customers and guests, while having a positive social impact.
This year we have launched a group wide charity event, The Great Dalata Charity Run series where our people run in registered races to reach a 3,000km group goal, raising much needed frunds for our charity partners. Find out more about our three chosen charities below:
