Tirlán supports the work of Embrace FARM with €5,000 donation

A cheque for the charitable donation was handed over at Tirlán’s Collaboration Hub in Abbey Quarter, Kilkenny, by Tirlán Chairperson John Murphy and Corporate Affairs Director Pat O’ Keeffe to Embrace FARM Business Development Manager, Catherine Kenneally. This marks the third consecutive year that Tirlán has provided financial support to the charity which was founded by Tirlán suppliers Brian and Norma Rohan. 

Catherine Kenneally, Business Development Manager of Embrace FARM, stated, "Embrace FARM supports farm families who are affected by sudden death or serious injury. Since its establishment in 2014, the organisation has supported almost 500 families from across the island of Ireland, providing both emotional and practical support so they can get the help they need how and when they need it most.

“Funding received from wonderful organisations like Tirlán means we can continue to grow and provide our services to at least an additional 50 families for 2024. In addition, it will help spread the word about what we do through targeted media campaigns with a national reach of approximately 15,000,000 by the end of the year through all media channels."

Tirlán’s Chairperson John Murphy said health and safety on farms is something that our farmers and Tirlán work hard to prioritise. However, unfortunately families are impacted by both accidents and injuries on farm. 

“We are proud to be able to support Embrace FARM on behalf of our farm families. The charity carries out important work, offering vital support and resources to farm families affected by accidents. They always go the extra mile to provide counselling, advocacy, and community assistance. We feel it is important to back such a worthy cause that makes a real difference."

Embrace FARM was founded in 2014 and now helps over 400 families.
