![B&Q Mahonpoint, Cork recently selected CUH Children's Unit as their chosen
charity for May- July 2017.
It's not just DIY, hardware and homeware that keep the staff of this local Cork store
busy. They choose a different charity every few months to fundraise for and have
raised over €15,000 already, since last October!
Their fundraising initiatives started when a colleagues son was diagnosed with
Leukemia and they decided to raise whatever they could to help with his frequent
trips to Dublin for treatment.
They started with a coffee morning for customers and staff and after seeing the
positive results decided to continue fundraising as a team and implement a longer
term fundraising project on-site at their Mahon Point outlet.
Simply clearing a section of the store, they asked customers, colleagues and the
community of Mahon to bring in second hand books and created a clever bring and
buy bookshelf, with all donations for books going to their chosen charity. This
