The Crann Centre is delighted to welcome its new Head of Fundraising, David McCarthy.

David brings extensive experience in fundraising, communications, and charity leadership from some of Ireland's most impactful non-profits and community organisations, including Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, BUMBLEance and Cork Chamber.

David will lead Crann's Fundraising Team and work with the Chief Executive, Board of Directors, supporters and partners to develop our sustainable funding model to achieve our strategic goals and help more families access Crann’s life-changing services for children, adults and families living with neuro-physical disabilities in Munster.

Crann's Chief Executive Padraig Mallon said, “I am delighted to welcome David to the Crann Centre team. His experience over many years will be a great addition to our small but mighty fundraising team. Our strategic objective is to ensure that the Crann Centre has the sustainable funding required to scale our reach and impact in response to demand for services, which is growing at 20% per year. David and the team are ready for this challenge. We are grateful to the many donors who have supported us to date and look forward to connecting with many more who are excited by the opportunity to create a brighter future for children, adults and families living with neuro-physical disabilities.”

Joining the Crann team, David said, "It’s a privilege to join such an important organisation, and I’m looking forward to working with the team, supporters and partners to help grow Crann’s impact in the years ahead. The Crann Centre is an incredible organisation supporting children, adults and families. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in, learning from the team, and playing my part in supporting the next chapter in its development."
