Drop Inn Community CLG

Drop Inn Community Company Limited By Guarantee is a charitable organisation that raises funds through a network of retail shops and public donations to support education, health and emergency relief projects in more than 30 countries. By selling a range of donated goods, the charity generates the resources needed to build schools, supply medicine, feed families and construct vital community facilities such as the new clinic in Koudougou, Burkina Faso.

The charity's work is organised around two core pillars - "Hope", which delivers education, community-building and partner-support initiatives, and "Healing", which focuses on feeding programmes and health-care provision. Drop Inn also runs seasonal campaigns, for example encouraging supporters to fill shoeboxes with gifts for children at Christmas, and offers a convenient donation-pick-up service.

With a presence in towns across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, Drop Inn operates a series of community shops that act as fundraising hubs while also raising awareness of its global projects. Led by Gareth and Brónagh Hayes, the organisation collaborates with local partners and mission groups to ensure that every child receives a full belly, a good education, health care and appropriate clothing.
