The Down Syndrome Centre and Re-Turn are joining forces to show Inclusion Matters

This ambitious campaign aims to raise over €100,000 to support vital therapy services for children with Down Syndrome in Dublin, while also collecting more than 500,000 cans and bottles to promote sustainability and support Ireland’s recycling targets.

The campaign offers an innovative way for businesses to combine environmental responsibility with social impact. Participating organisations will receive Inclusion Matters bins to place in communal areas such as staff kitchens, canteens, or reception spaces. Employees are encouraged to use these bins to dispose of empty cans and bottles, which will then be collected weekly by Re-turn. The deposit from each can and bottle will be donated to The Down Syndrome Centre, helping fund therapy services for children with Down Syndrome. All collections and services are provided free of charge to participating organisations.

Why Should Your Organisation Get Involved?

• Supporting Children with Down Syndrome: Your organisation’s involvement will directly contribute to therapy programmes that help children develop essential communication and life skills, fostering greater independence and integration into the community.
• Promoting Sustainability: By helping to recycle over 500,000 cans and bottles, your business will actively support Ireland’s national recycling goals and contribute to meeting EU environmental targets.
• Enhancing Your CSR and ESG Profile: Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and inclusion while engaging your workforce in a meaningful initiative that aligns with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
