Wood Innovations support AWARE NI

Wood Innovations are proud to support AWARE NI, the depression charity for Northern Ireland.

A £2000 donation from Wood Innovations has funded a freshly designed and eye-catching branded car wrap for the charity.  The vehicle was unveiled to our very impressed team at our Newry Headquarters.

The initiative is set to boost the awareness of the charity across the province, reaching a diverse range of communities and spreading the message of the support and services that are available from AWARE NI.

AWARE NI’s vision is of a future where people can openly discuss their mental health, access services appropriate to their needs, and have the skills and knowledge to maintain positive mental health.

Edwina Flynn, CEO of Wood Innovations, said:

“We are thrilled to support AWARE NI in their mission to raise mental health awareness.  At Wood Innovations, we acknowledge the critical importance of mental health & wellbeing in the workplace.  The branded vehicle will help extend AWARE NI’s reach and impact providing vital resources to those who are struggling with depression and mental health issues”

Jarlath McCreanor, AWARE NI facilitator and long-term supporter added:

"On behalf of AWARE NI I extend thanks and gratitude to Wood Innovations for their generous support.  This branded car will travel across the country, significantly raising awareness of mental health issues and promoting our services. Having a visible presence on the roads will help the charity to reach more people in need, spreading the message of hope and support far and wide.”

AWARE NI has a large network of peer-led support groups run by a team of trained volunteers. These free-to-attend support groups welcome people experiencing mental ill-health and offer them a safe space to open up and be around others who understand them.
