Well done to the apprentices and staff at GRETB Training Centre, Mervue Galway for their fantastic work!
♻️ By recycling through the Deposit Return Scheme, the team raised €882 for the Globetrotters Special Olympics Basketball Club.

This donation supports the club as four athletes prepare to represent Connacht at the Special Olympics Ireland Games in Dublin this June. 🏀✨

Best of luck to Jack, Evan, and the entire team—we’re all behind you! 👏🏆

By collecting and recycling bottles and plastics through Ireland’s Deposit Return Scheme, the team at Galway and Roscommon ETB, Mervue Training Centre has raised €882 for Globetrotters Special Olympics Basketball Club.

This donation proudly supports the Globetrotters Special Olympics Basketball Club, Galway, where four athletes have been selected to represent Connacht at the Special Olympics Ireland Games, taking place this June in Dublin. The club will be represented at the Games by the four athletes, accompanied by a chaperone.

As part of this ongoing initiative at Mervue Training Centre, apprentices regularly select different charities throughout the year and work collectively to make meaningful donations - turning everyday actions into real community impact.

Well done to everyone involved for the commitment, collaboration and generosity shown. A fantastic effort by our apprentices and staff for a truly brilliant cause.

Best of luck to Jack, Evan and the entire Globetrotters team at the Games in June - we’ll be cheering you on all the way!
