€100,000 Christmas Donation from Saint Gobain to Peter McVerry Trust

Peter McVerry
Speaking today Brian Dolan, MD for Saint-Gobain in Ireland said: “There is a deepening crisis in social housing in Ireland and we believe leading companies should put their shoulder to the wheel and return a social dividend from their success. Part of our corporate and social responsibility is to support our local communities, and supporting a building project for the Peter McVerry Trust is a great match in that regard. A secure home is a human right that provides shelter, security and dignity. It allows an individual to lead a rewarding and meaningful life. We are delighted this donation will ensure that six individuals or families will get a chance to start over with a new home.”
     
   
     
Renovation Project
Pat Doyle, CEO of the Peter McVerry Trust said: “We have, at present, 90,000 households on a social housing waiting list, we also see rising rents, rising property costs and rising homelessness in urban areas. All of this has led to increasing pressure on the homeless service providers such as the Peter McVerry Trust, and it is a relief and a fantastic move to see a company such as Saint-Gobain step forward to help us out”.
The renovation project, which starts with immediate effect, involves the refurbishment of a block of apartments on in Dublin 8. The building is currently unused and run down, and has been handed over by Dublin City Council to the Trust on a long-term lease. The work funded by Saint-Gobain will involve gutting the building and getting it habitable and ready for new tenants to move in.
