The Pavers Foundation, charitable initiative of multi-channel footwear retailer, Pavers, makes grants to charities and good causes that make a difference in areas of health, education and community, the vast majority of which are nominated by its colleagues.

Rachel visited colleagues at the Pavers store in Killarney, before heading out to catch up with the charities they had donated to in recent years.

Charities visited included Kerry Cancer support, a vital service providing a link bus from Kerry to Cork, transporting cancer patients to appointments. The charity received a donation in 2018 from the Foundation, which has since helped them to transport thousands of cancer patients across the county.

Additionally, Rachel met with Shirley Morris and Gerard O’Carroll, the President of Down Syndrome Ireland, in a visit to Down Syndrome Kerry, to find out about how our donation of €1000 was used to by a specialist postural chair for patients.

At the store in Killarney Outlet Centre, Rachel and the Pavers team were met by representatives from My Canine Companion, a therapy dog service, matching children and families with assistance dogs to help with autism and disabilities. This charity received €1,000 from the Foundation in 2021, allowing them to improve the lives of those with learning disabilities and autism.

The Foundation has donated over £1.6million to date and is committed to following up on donations made to measure the impact and meet with beneficiaries and grantees alike.
