Community

Donegal Creameries is actively involved in the local community within which it operates. The following are just a selection of our community giving initatives.

ACT (Care of the Terminally Ill) Ltd

Affiliated Care of the Terminally Ill is a Donegal based charity whose aim is to benefit the community through providing support and assistance to the terminally ill young and their families from Donegal, in collaboration with homecare, hospice and local hospital services.

ACT follows on from the Adrian Mitchell Society, operating under the umbrella of Donegal Hospice.

Below are some pictures from a recent Donegal Creameries staff football competition, organised to raise much needed funds for ACT.
