NFU Mutual Agents and their staff at the local Enniskillen agency recently nominated local charity Aisling Centre, to receive a donation of £3,198.50 from NFU Mutual’s national £1.92million ‘Agency Giving Fund’.
The leading rural insurer has launched this fund, now in its third year, to help local frontline charities across the country.
The Agency Giving Fund forms part of NFU Mutual’s £3.25m funding pledge for both local and national charities in 2022, to help tackle the ongoing effects of the pandemic and assist with recovery.
To ensure these donations reach all corners of the UK and are directed where they’re needed most, NFU Mutual’s Agents, with over 295 offices nationwide, have been given the opportunity to nominate local charities to receive a share of the fund.
Paddy Keaney, Enniskillen Agent, said: “NFU Mutual has been a champion of rural communities the length and breadth of the UK for over 110 years, and the Agency Giving Fund champions local causes that are working day and night to change people’s lives and give hope for a better future.
"We’re extremely proud to have nominated The Aisling Centre for this donation and are delighted to be able to support the vital contribution they make to our community.”
Bridie Sweeney, Service Director, Aisling Centre said “We are enormously thankful to Paddy Keaney, Margaret Maguire and the team at the Enniskillen agency of NFU Mutual for nominating Aisling Centre to receive a donation from the Agency Giving Fund. The money has gone a long way to helping us provide counselling service”.
She went on to say “support like this is invaluable in this time of growing demand for services”.
