December Bulletin 2025

As I look back on this year, one moment stands out: our Chairperson, Eoin Fitzgerald’s heartfelt address at the Regional Dinner. He shared the personal story behind his commitment to education, growing up in a large family in Carlow, becoming the first in his family to attend third-level education, and the teacher who sparked his lifelong passion for learning.

We can all tap into these early memories. Every child deserves the chance to dream big, and this year, for thousands of children, we’ve helped make that possible. With €8.45 million cumulatively invested and thousands of volunteer hours, we’ve turned resources into opportunities and opened doors to brighter futures across Ireland.

Thank you for your incredible support. Each act of generosity, mentoring, donating, creating learning spaces, echoes a powerful truth: education changes lives. As we step into 2026, let’s keep building hope, bridging the gap, and shaping tomorrow.
