Aurivo’s 700 employees across its network of 34 stores, four livestock marts, production plants and HQ are committed to taking part in fundraising efforts and the business has pledged to match all donations raised. Fundraising activities will include the annual golf tournament, the Killygordon 5km, coffee mornings, raffles and much more.
Commenting on the initiative as a significant source of pride for the Co-operative, Donal Tierney, Chief Executive, Aurivo said:
‘At Aurivo, there is nothing we look forward to more than collaborating with a brand-new charity partner. With the initiative now in its 18th year, it has become a remarkable source of pride for the business. I am delighted to share that this year, we will be working with MS Ireland. MS Ireland provides integral care and support services to the 10,000 people living with Multiple Sclerosis nationwide. With communities at the heart of Aurivo, we are eager to play our part in assisting MS Ireland to provide the best possible care to their service-users. I look forward to witnessing the future successes of this important partnership with MS Ireland.’

We are delighted to have been chosen as Aurivo’s charity partner for 2024/25 as this partnership will make a real and lasting impact on the lives of people with MS from all over Ireland.
