On Saturday the 19th of July five members of the Avolon team completed the TriGrandPrix Triathlon in Kilkenny, supporting both the official charity partner Cycle against Suicide and Avolon’s chosen charity partner the Darndale Childcare centre.

The triathlon involved swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances, all five members of the Avolon team completed the course in impressive times!

The chosen charity, The Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Service Ltd opened in 2001 with its aim being to provide quality childcare at an affordable cost to the Darndale, Belcamp and Moatview communities, a recognised area of social deprivation. Since then it has grown into the largest community childcare facility in the country catering for 260 children from 0 to 12 years of age. The vision of the Centre is to promote a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Through active learning the experienced, qualified and competent staff team nurture fun loving and inquisitive children. They work in partnership with valued parents and a supportive community and ensure that every child has the tools to build a great future.

In total €8000 was raised by Avolon. This fundraising will go directly towards helping some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children in Ireland.

The Avolon team would like to thank the generosity of its clients, business partners, friends, and the hard work of the triathlon team in helping support this very worthy cause.
