30 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Enable Ireland Retail & Fundraising National Fundraising Campaigns During our annual Action Week on Disability 2007, we encouraged the general public to “Go for Gold”. The Gold Badge appeal was publicised at our Capel Street event on 20 September and throughout the Enable Ireland network. Thanks to our volunteers and local co-ordinators, Enable Ireland’s action on disability was brought to public attention in a meaningful way which also raised valuable funds from the community. Our House to House campaign was run in 15 counties and its continued success relies on volunteer effort. Our 2007 donor recruitment campaign added some 500 new donors who pledged regular support through monthly gifts which allow us to plan for future developments. The payroll giving project – Children Direct – run in conjunction with four other good causes, yielded further dividends in 2007. Community Fundraising Each year, thousands of people throughout the country support Enable Ireland through individual and group effort, organising events, nominating Enable Ireland as the beneficiary of fundraising activities or as charity of the year. Many more support events organised by Enable Ireland fundraising co-ordinators or join Enable Ireland teams for sporting challenges. Our results for 2007 reflect their commitment and contribution, allowing us to improve services in the communities where the funds have been raised.
