Kingspan is proud to support a wide variety of charitable initiatives in the community. We also encourage and support the fundraising of colleagues who participate in various fundraising activities.
Now in its fifth year Kingspan have been the main sponsor for the Irish Hospice Foundation’s cycle charity fundraiser. In July 2013 some 60 cyclists left Dublin to take part in a 630 km cycle from Biarritz to Narbonne.
Kevin Deery, Kingspan Group Head of Treasury takes part in the cycle.
The Irish Hospice Foundation supports the development of hospice care and promotes the hospice philosophy in Ireland. More information on its good work can be found at its website: www.hospice-foundation.ie
In May 2013, a group from Kingspan took part in the ARC mini marathon in Dublin’s Phoenix Park which was sponsored by Kingspan.
ARC was founded in 1994 and is an organisation that offers professional personal support to men and women affected by cancer and their families. Further details can be found at www.arccancersupport.ie
