28 non-profit organisations from across Ireland and Northern Ireland are today celebrating the news that they will each receive a grant share from this year’s Coca-Cola Thank You Fund. 

Operating in partnership with the Irish Youth Foundation and supporting partners YouthAction Northern Ireland, the Fund invests in community groups that are orientated towards young people, with this year’s theme centred around empowering young people through learning, inclusion, and sustainable development. 

This year The Coca-Cola Company and its partner Coca-Cola HBC Ireland and Northern Ireland joined forces to double the amount of funding on offer in 2023, making €200,000 in grants available.  The significant increase in funding means that the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund can support even more local organisations across the island of Ireland that work tirelessly to champion and empower young people to take an active role in shaping, creating, and maintaining sustainable communities.   

In total, 10 recipient organisations were selected to receive a grant of up to €10,000 to develop and implement their youth programme. These organisations include Childhood Development Initiative CLG (Dublin), Kerry Diocesan Youth Service (Kerry), Outcomers (Louth), Depaul (Dublin), AK Inspired CLG (Kerry), Spraoi agus Spórt Family Centre (Donegal), North West Islamic Association (Derry), Laurencetown Lenaderg & Tullylish Community Association (LLTCA) (Down), Patrician Youth Centre (Down), and Fighting Words NI (Antrim).  

An additional 18 organisations will receive at least €5,000 in funding to support their local project and improve their community. These groups include Cork Migrant Centre (Cork), Roscommon Young Carers Project (VITA House) (Roscommon), Foróige Kilkenny (Kilkenny), Tacú (Mayo), Northside Partnership (Dublin), Wexford Arts Centre (Wexford), Footsteps Project Connect FRC (Louth), Mullingar EYE & YoYo Youth Café Youth Work Ireland Midlands (Westmeath), Pocket Forests (Dublin), Learning Hub Limerick (Limerick), Midlands Science (Offaly), Manor Street/Cliftonville Community Group (Belfast), Destined Ltd (Derry), Magnet Youth Adult Centre (Down), The Rainbow Child and Family Centre (Derry), St. Patrick’s Youth Club Keady (Armagh), Active Communities Network (Antrim), and Crisis Café (Newry).
