At Cherry Orchard Equine Centre, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) volunteering days are about far more than painting fences or completing maintenance projects. They are an opportunity for businesses to connect with their community, support local young people, and make a lasting difference to a charity that works every day to create positive opportunities for children, young people, and families.

Over the past year, we have welcomed corporate teams from a range of organisations who have generously given their time, energy, and expertise to support our work. Whether it is repainting arenas, improving facilities, tidying outdoor spaces, or helping us tackle jobs that often fall to the bottom of an ever-growing to-do list, every contribution helps us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for our participants and horses.

For many volunteers, spending a day at the centre offers a chance to step away from the office and experience something completely different. It provides an opportunity to work together as a team, enjoy the outdoors, meet our horses, and see first-hand the impact that community organisations have on the lives of local people.

For us, the benefits are equally significant. As a charity, resources are always stretched, and the support of corporate volunteers allows us to complete projects that would otherwise take months to achieve. Every freshly painted arena, repaired fence, swept yard, or improved facility helps us provide a better experience for the young people who attend our programmes.

CSR partnerships are also about building meaningful connections. We are proud to work alongside businesses that share our commitment to community, inclusion, and opportunity. By investing time in local causes, companies are helping to strengthen communities and create positive change where it is needed most.

We are incredibly grateful to every volunteer who has spent time with us, rolled up their sleeves, and become part of the Cherry Orchard community, even if only for a day.

A huge thank you to the 11 volunteers from Diageo who recently spent the day with us here at Cherry Orchard Equine Centre as part of their CSR Volunteer Day. The team worked incredibly hard throughout the day and their support was hugely appreciated. Volunteer days like these make a real difference to the centre and help support the spaces used every day by our young people, riders, families, and wider community. As this was our first time working with the Diageo team, we really hope to welcome them back again in the future. If your company or organisation would be interested in organising a CSR Volunteer Day or community partnership with Cherry Orchard Equine Centre, we would love to hear from you at communications@cherryorchard.ie #CSR #CorporateSocialResponsibility #VolunteerDay #CommunityPartnership #TeamWork

A huge thank you to the team from Goldman Sachs for once again supporting Cherry Orchard Equine Centre through a fantastic CSR Volunteer Day Together, the team helped repaint the inside of our indoor arena, a major project for our centre and one that makes a real difference to the spaces used every day by our young people, riders, families, and wider community. Projects like this take an enormous amount of time and resources, so support from corporate volunteer teams has a genuinely lasting impact. Many hands really do make light work. CSR partnerships like these help us continue improving and maintaining our facilities while building meaningful connections between businesses and the local community. If your company is interested in organising a Corporate Social Responsibility Day, team volunteering opportunity, or community partnership with Cherry Orchard Equine Centre, we would love to hear from you. #CSR #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CommunityPartnership #VolunteerDay #TeamWork
