Co Antrim based firm pledges £20,000 to Northern Ireland Lapland charity

Energystore, which manufactures and installs insulation in the UK and Irish markets, will donate £20,000 over a two-year period to the worthy cause that gives children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions experiences to cherish.

The funding will support NICLT’s annual flight to Lapland on which more than 100 children, their parents/carers and health professionals take to the skies for a magical day in Rovaniemi, Finland.

It will also help support the Days to Remember element of the charity’s efforts including the resumed flight to Disneyland Paris and more occasions organised to cater to children who are not able to fly.

Bill McCandless, Managing Director of Larne-headquartered Energystore said: “We’re delighted to support the NICLT through two annual donations of £10,000.

“Being able to support families and help the charity with their mission is something we can all be proud of.”

Chair of NICLT, Colin Barkley, added: “The Northern Ireland Children to Lapland and Days to Remember Trust is entirely self-financing and it has always been important for us to develop mutually beneficial relationships in the community, with businesses which share our ideals and objectives.

“Energystore is one of those businesses. Already making an impact on communities’ energy usage, it has extended its efforts to impact the children that we work with. Its support will go a long way in enabling us to continue our mission to give terminally ill, life-limited and deserving children from across Northern Ireland a truly magical day that they can cherish.”
