Thank you from the Disability Office at NCI!

Hi everyone

Geraldine Feeney, Disability Officer at NCI

As the Disability Officer with NCI I am delighted to update you on the success to date of our Affinity Scheme with O2. We had 704 people signing up to the scheme during this sign-up period, which has just ended. Over the next 2 years, 5% of those customers monthly spend will be donated directly to support students with disabilities at NCI.

The second sign up period is from 31^st January to 1^st April next year and we’re busy planning now, so that we’re ready to make the most of this time when it arrives.

We were really delighted with all the support for the scheme from staff members, students, parents and friends of the college. Kanchi Ireland and Lisa Dominican, founder of Grace App for children with autism, were fantastic and so supportive, as was everyone who came along to our Information Evening on November 9th.

This was such a success that we will be hosting another event in February and I am looking forward to meeting more of you then.

The funds raised will support NCI as we keep working towards our goal, which is to to increase access to education for students from under-represented groups,  and to provide an innovative and supportive learning environment in which all students can realise their true potential. 

Information Evening – O2 Affinity Scheme

Tonight we are holding a special information evening at National College of Ireland to discuss the NCI Affinity scheme with O2 Ireland. The event will take place from 6:30 – 8:00pm, here at National College of Ireland in the IFSC. Over a glass of wine, we’d like to tell you more about the scheme and the ways you can help us to spread the word.

    Friday, 7^th October, was a very exciting day for everyone at NCI, and particularly for our students with disabilities. We officially launched the NCI Affinity Scheme with O2 Ireland and, through the scheme, O2 will donate up to 5% of an eligible customer’s monthly spend to our Disability Support Service.
