We have a long-standing and rewarding partnership with St. Michael's House, helping to make a difference to those with intellectual disabilities. St. Michael’s House in Dublin provides services to children and adults with an intellectual disability.
KPMG has built a strong relationship with St. Michael’s House over the years, with hundreds of our staff volunteering for a range of activities; from organising sports days, and painting murals to educational projects within the St. Michael’s House library, as part of their ‘Time to Volunteer’ corporate volunteer programme.
According to a representative of St. Michael’s House the aim of the programme is for staff to complete a worthwhile project and to become more knowledgeable about how people with an intellectual disability can positively contribute to society. “We are delighted and amazed at the amount of work completed by the volunteers in our day, residential, clinic and education services over the last 13 years. Volunteer hours make such a difference. We are very grateful for our partnership with KPMG and their continued sponsorship of this programme.”
KPMG’s Head of Corporate Citizenship & Diversity, Karina Howley said at the event: “KPMG are proud to have sponsored the Time to Volunteer programme since 2012, with staff volunteering hundreds of hours to St. Michael’s House annually. Our engagement helps create awareness about disability and we are delighted to play our part in helping to make a difference.”
