Story

Peter McVerry Trust work tirelessly to help those who are experiencing homelessness and with our support they will be able to give families and vulnerable young people a key to their own front door.

A new home is often a milestone for someone in their journey out of homelessness. With support from the Peter McVerry Trust team, it can mean accessing education, learning a new skill or developing their career path - Oonagh OHagan, MD of Meaghers Pharmacy Group

This year Meaghers Pharmacy have set themselves the ambitious target of raising 50,000. This would help Peter McVerry Trust support more people out of homelessness and onto a new chapter in their lives.

With your support again this year, we can help more people move on to a brighter future - Oonagh O Hagan

This Meaghers campaign is called 'Wrapping up Homelessness' whereby customers in our stores that would like something gift wrapped are asked to make a donation of an amount of their choosing. Customers shopping online will also have the option to choose to have presents gift wrapped at a charge of 2.50, an obligatory donation that will go straight to Peter McVerry Trust.

All donations can be made in store or here on our JustGiving page with no additional fees.

Lastly Meaghers Pharmacy are the sole Irish stockists of a brand called The Giving Keys. This is an American brand that employs people transitioning out of homelessness to make jewellery out of recycled keys. The key is the symbol of Peter McVerry Trust and 40% of profits go directly to them.

Help us to help more families and vulnerable people to move on to a new and brighter chapter of their lives.
