Delighted to announce the launch of our 'Adding Life to Years' impact report yesterday, at an event held at the House of Lords: lnkd.in/eBE9VTNR and take this opportunity to thank the many who have helped us achieve success, positively impacting society and the economy.

Good to hear CivicDollars getting a mention in relation to engaging the population in relation to clinical trials. #HTS2024

If you see Donegal people smiling today it's not because they are in the Ulster Final, or because Timmy Mallett is in town.
Its because the CivicDollars project is extended for 2 years to help improve health & wellbeing in the county! Healthy Donegal
