Introducing Our Charity Partners

Meet the good causes we support that improve human health by harnessing the power of animals.  

Here in Ireland our business spans Human Pharmaceuticals and Animal Health, so when it came to choosing which charities to support, we wanted to combine both sides of our business and honour the unique bond that exists between people and animals.

We put out the call to all our employees, asking them to nominate appropriate charities and vote for their favourites.  Consequently, thanks to our team, we are pleased to be partnering with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and My Canine Companion.

Our two official charities are remarkable in the way they contribute to human health by harnessing the natural instincts of our four-legged friends.  Additionally, they mirror our own values, vision and purpose – to serve humankind by improving health for people and animals.

Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind – Changing Lives

Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind is Ireland’s national charity dedicated to supporting people who are vision impaired and families of children with autism – helping them lead better lives through improved mobility and independence.

The service that Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind provides to people with impaired sight is completely free of charge. The charity passionately believes that everyone in need of a Guide or Assistance Dog has the right to access their services and its supporters, communities and corporate partners make this possible. 

The charity changes lives all over Ireland every day with their commitment and generosity. It takes €53,000 to cover the working life of just one of their Guide Dogs, bringing them from playful puppy through two years of professional training, on to client and family integration and a long, purposeful happy life. 

Our partnership with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind is a commitment to making a tangible difference. Giving the gift of independence and mobility inspires all that are part of it.
