Corporate Support

We have a dedicated team in our Communications and Fundraising Department who will work with you and your team to make the most of your partnership. We are always excited to hear your ideas and corporate social responsibility objectives and we are ready to make incredible change happen, side by side. We can give you the time and creativity needed to ensure our partnership will have real impact here in Cork.

Our organisation has been serving the Cork community for over 60 years and we are a huge part of the fabric of the city and county. We are deeply embedded in communities and we are one of the largest not for profit organisations in Munster.

We deliver vital services and supports to over 2,800 people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism. We do this through our ever-expanding network of 70+ locations dotted across the city and county. So no matter where you are located, or where you want your impact to be felt, we’ll meet you there.

For over 60 years, our organisation has been leading the way in the area of disability services. We are one of Ireland’s largest disabilities organisations and we play an important role in the future direction of the sector.

We play a really important role in the community and we take that responsibility seriously. We are privileged to be a part of the lives of people we support and we work so hard to ensure our work and our brand is understood. When you partner with Horizons, you partner with people who are passionate, committed and ambitious.

Being your charity of the year allows us to work together for a set period of time, through fundraising, volunteering and staff-led initiatives.

Together, we can devise a one year plan with lots of exciting events and initiatives so that your company and team can make a real difference to the lives of people we support. By working with us, you’ll also be making great strides to increase your team’s awareness of diversity and inclusion.

Long-term change is always our preference and this can be achieved with a strategic multi-year partnership with your company. We can work together on a long-term strategic basis, aligning our work with your company’s goals and objectives.

We have lots of different fundraising events happening throughout the year which target a broad range of demographics. From luncheons to golf classics and draws to seminars, our fundraising calendar is a busy one and there are fantastic opportunities for your company and brand to be in the spotlight for helping to change lives.

Every day we see the powerful role volunteering plays in our work. Volunteering with Horizons is an incredibly insightful and rewarding experience and we are so grateful to those who give their time to help us. We have volunteering opportunities to suit people’s age, experience, interests and availability. There are some amazing volunteer opportunities available.
