Dairygold staff presented two local charities with cheques last week following the Co-op’s inaugural annual charity walk/run in Doneraile Park. Over two hundred Dairygold staff, families and friends of all ages turned out in force to participate in the 5km walk/10km run in aid of local charities - the Cork Penny Dinners (one of Cork's oldest caring organisations) and Cork Mental Health (actively supporting and empowering people with mental illness).

The Dairygold Charity Event Committee was tasked with selecting the charities and organising the event and they were delighted with the support and success of the initiative. The event raised a total of €12,585. Plans are already under way for next year’s event.
