Bord Gáis Energy Theatre
The 7th of March 2012 marked the beginning of an exciting partnership when the Grand Canal Theatre was officially renamed the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre when Bord Gáis Energy became the proud sponsor of this landmark theatre.
GAA
At Bord Gáis Energy we have a long-standing association with the GAA as proud sponsors of the GAA Senior All-Ireland Hurling Championship since 2017 and the GAA Legends Tour Series of Croke Park since 2013.
Focus Ireland partnership
The prevention of family homelessness in Ireland is an area where we believe we can make a real difference and through our partnership with Focus Ireland, we have been working on making this a reality since 2015. To date, through a wide variety of initiatives, the partnership has raised €4.4 million and supported over 8,000 families at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness.
We've pledged a further €2 million to help tackle family homelessness. This brings our total commitment to €4.4 million since we joined forces with Focus Ireland in 2015. During the next phase of our partnership, we will assist a further 10,000 families through advice, information and support programmes, and directly prevent 1,000 families from ever entering homelessness.
We believe that every child needs a safe place they can call home, and we will work together to do everything we can to help make that happen.
Bord Gáis Energy are proud sponsors of Focus Ireland’s fundraising initiative Shine A Light since 2019. Shine A Light challenges business leaders and the general public across Ireland to sleep out for one night and in doing so raise vital funds to help alleviate homelessness. Bord Gáis Energy staff participation in the annual event is high, from senior leadership to teams across the business all sleeping out and helping raise funds via dedicated donation portals.
Together with Focus Ireland we’ve raised over €10m within the SAL model. In 2024 we reached 1.3million in combined awareness and €690k in PR value for SAL.
Bord Gáis Energy also sponsors Focus Ireland’s initiative called the Lived Experience Ambassador Programme (LEAP) which enables people who have lived experience of homelessness to share their stories and help raise awareness of the issue.
Another key element of the partnership is the Bord Gáis Energy Empowerment Fund, which enables vulnerable children to have normal moments of childhood from basic items like new school uniforms to family outings or more critical interventions such as medical assessments.
Bord Gáis Energy employees volunteer approximately 1000 hours per year for various Focus Ireland events for homeless families such as the summer sports day, the Easter cinema day, the Christmas party and the annual Big Busk. In 2024 we hope to commit 1500 volunteering hours to Focus Ireland.
