South West Mayo Development Company to receive grant share of €200,000

Coca-Cola Ireland, alongside its strategic bottling partner Coca-Cola HBC Ireland and Northern Ireland, today announced the 14 non-profit organisations awarded grant funding through the 2025 Coca-Cola Thank You Fund.  

Now celebrating its 15 year anniversary, the Fund has invested a further €200,000 to support community-based programmes that champion inclusion and inspiration for young people across the island of Ireland. At a time when many young people are facing rising living costs, limited access to opportunities, and increased pressure on their wellbeing, this continued investment in local community groups is designed to deliver support where it is needed most. 

Established in 2011, the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund has awarded €1.9 million in grants to nearly 200 organisations committed to empowering young people, particularly those at risk of disadvantage, through accessible education, employability, and leadership programmes. This year’s recipients will deliver initiatives under the 2025 theme: supporting and empowering youth interventions across the island of Ireland 

The 14 successful organisations will receive grants ranging from €8,000 to €25,000. This funding will enable community groups to remove barriers and provide meaningful support to young people aged 16-25, helping them develop skills, build confidence, and take positive action in their local communities. 

Recipients of this year’s Coca-Cola Thank You Fund include the South West Mayo Development Company who receives €13,200 in funding.
