A team of over 20 employees from Musgrave Group recently gave the Cork Association for Autism a helping hand by coming to their Crobally Service Centre in Mogeely to plant 900 trees around their new day service centre. The state of the art centre which consists of 4 activity rooms and a sensory room provides day supports to 14 adults with autism.
Marion Courtney Fundraising Manager at the Cork Association for Autism explains: “we just opened our new day service centre and needed help developing the area around the centre so we were delighted with the help received from Musgrave Group. They worked so well as a team and both groups benefited greatly from the day.’
Katherine Keating of Musgrave Group said: “the day was a huge success and we are proud to support the Cork Association for Autism and the great work they do. I know that the team from our site got a lot from this activity and had some fun too. We look forward to seeing the trees flourish over the coming years’.
The Cork Association for Autism now provide supports to over 300 adults with autism and demand for its services continues to grow. Services provided included residential care, respite, day service, home supports and an Asperger Syndrome Support Service.
