 WEEE Ireland has donated a further €40,000 to LauraLynn, bringing its total contribution to €520,000 since the partnership began 11 years ago. 

The gift to Ireland’s only children’s hospice will provide much-needed overnight respite stays for dozens of children with life-limiting conditions and their families. 

Every battery recycled by WEEE Ireland goes towards a donation fund to support this vital work. 

“The funds that we have received from WEEE Ireland as a result of the battery campaign have had such a positive impact on the children and families who avail of LauraLynn’s care and specialised supports,” said Kerry McLaverty, CEO of LauraLynn. 

Leo Donovan, CEO of WEEE Ireland added: “WEEE Ireland is delighted to be part of LauraLynn’s story since 2011. As well as supporting the fantastic work of LauraLynn, recycling batteries plays a huge part in helping protect the environment for future generations.”
