Enable Ireland launched an exciting fundraiser which the charity hopes will raise
much-needed funds for their disability services.
The charity, which provides services to over 13,000 children and adults with disabilities, is
offering one lucky person a once in a lifetime chance to win a 3 bedroom end-of-terrace
house in Astra Construction’s Janeville development, Carrigaline, Co. Cork, valued at
€350,000. The winner will also receive a €5,000 voucher sponsored by Right Price Tiles and
Wood Flooring and a €5,000 voucher sponsored by EZ Living Interiors Ltd bringing the total
prize value to an incredible €360,000!
Tickets are available for €100 from www.winahousecork.ie, with the raffle scheduled to be
held just before Easter on Friday, 22 nd March 2024. This unique raffle, supporting a charity,
will offer people who are looking to buy their own home an incredible opportunity to win it! It
will also appeal to parents and grandparents hoping to win a home for their children or
grandchildren.
‘Win A House Cork’ has the support of the Clarke Family from Newcestown, Co. Cork
including their seven-year-old son, Adam who attends Enable Ireland’s services. His
parents, Therese and Fergal, said: “We are delighted to help support and raise awareness of
this exciting fundraiser. Adam has been under the care of the early intervention team at
Enable Ireland since April 2017, where he has received physical, occupational and speech
and language therapies and also had access to their child psychologist. Thanks to Enable
Ireland Adam has thrived, he has learnt that he "can too" – just differently, that he has a
place in the world, as well.”
The proceeds from the raffle will go towards the completion of funding for Enable Ireland’s
children’s centre in Curraheen, Cork. Speaking about the appeal for the public’s support,
Enable Ireland Director of Services Gillian Darrer said “We are extremely grateful for the
support we have received to date for our services in Cork. The services we provide from our
centre in Curraheen are essential to the children and families who rely on them. Completing
the funding for this centre means we can continue to provide our vital therapy and support
services for the next generation of children.”
One sponsor, Susan Dineen said, “Right Price Tiles and Wood flooring has a long history of
supporting Enable Ireland in Cork and is delighted to be a part of this campaign. We look
forward to providing the winner of the house with flooring and tiles of their choice and wish
the charity every success as they strive to complete the funding of its children’s centre in
Curraheen.”
Speaking about their involvement in the campaign, Gavin White, owner of EZ Living Interiors
said “At EZ Living Interiors, our name says it all. We know that homes are more than walls
and roofs; they are where life happens. Our mission from day one has been to make the
journey of creating a stylish, comfortable home easy. As we celebrate 35 years in business,
we want to give back to our communities in meaningful ways. We are so proud to support
Enable Ireland’s Win A House Cork fundraiser and contribute to the incredible work that they
do.”
A friend of Enable Ireland for over 30 years, stalwart volunteer Anne Hegarty said “Following
the huge success of the first Win A House Cork campaign which we ran the first year of the
pandemic, we are delighted to be in a position to run it again. The goal of this campaign is to
finally complete the funding of the children’s centre in Cork benefiting children for
generations to come. A ticket is a perfect Christmas gift for family at home or abroad – it can
be purchased online. We are hoping people all over the country and indeed our diaspora get
behind it.”
