The contrasting lives, between the haves and have nots, are ever more visible to us all. “Fairtrade’s goals are deeply intertwined with the sustainable development goals.

In Ireland we are focusing on 5 Goals, by supporting Fairtrade you and your organisation are making a strong commitment at a local level and at a global level, Fairtrade works with governments, NGOs, commercial partners and other actors on key areas including living income and living wage, climate change, and human rights.

Fairtrade is also extending the way it engages with companies that are increasingly working towards sustainable supply chains.

Thank you to all staff and students who supported the 5th years in their fundraising for the Irish Heart Foundation last Friday 28th Feb.

The Irish Heart National fundraising campaign in February, aims to empower Irish women to look after their heart health while also raising vital funds.

‘By Going Red for Women this February, members of the public can support the Irish Heart Foundation’s work in communities across Ireland, raising awareness of and helping to prevent deaths from cardiovascular disease. There are more deaths from heart disease than from cancer amongst women and 80% are preventable’

Well done to TY students Leah Collins, Sadhbh Clancy, Hob Hussein, Ryan Gleeson an Orlaith Quinn who raised 150 euro for Crumlin Children’s Hospital by selling pancakes on pancake Tuesday!
