Our CSR Programme - CluneTech Cares, is a fantastic representation of what we are - a team of truly caring individuals giving our best to support and add value, not only to our customers, but also to the communities in which we operate. CluneTech Cares is employee-led and has three key pillars: Wellness, Culture & Community, and Sustainability. It has been a busy quarter so make sure to check out some of our latest activities below.
January can be a tough time for many, especially the elderly and those struggling with loneliness.
That’s why this month, CluneTech proudly supported ALONE in Ireland and Caritas Bulgaria, two incredible organizations working to combat isolation and provide vital services to those in need.
To raise awareness and funds, we hosted CSR Walks in Kilkenny and Dublin in aid of ALONE, while our teams in Bulgaria walked in support of Caritas. For every participant, CluneTech donated €10—resulting in over €500 raised throughout the month.
A huge thanks to everyone who took part, shared their 5k walk screenshots, and helped shine a light on an often-overlooked issue. Your efforts continue to make a meaningful difference.
In recognition of World Cancer Day, CluneTech was proud to support the Irish Cancer Society and Една от 8 in Bulgaria—two incredible organizations devoted to supporting those affected by cancer and advancing the fight against this disease.
February also marked the exciting debut of CluneTech Goals for Good, with our very first CluneTech Cup held at The Watershed in Kilkenny.
Colleagues came together for a friendly football match, scoring goals for a good cause while enjoying a shared lunch and some healthy competition.
Alongside the match, our Kilkenny-based CSR Walk on February 27th invited team members to complete their 5K for World Cancer Day. For every team member who took part and shared their 5k screenshots, CluneTech donated €5, helping to support essential services and cancer research. A special thanks to everyone who laced up their shoes and showed their support.
This March, CluneTech proudly dedicated our CSR Spotlight to World Autism Awareness, supporting a number of incredible charities that provide essential services to individuals and families affected by autism.
Autism is a neurological difference that shapes how people experience the world, and while awareness is growing, there’s still much work to be done in building a more understanding and inclusive society.
To raise awareness and funds, we hosted a lunchtime run/walk at our Kilkenny HQ on March 12th, where participants were encouraged to go green in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and show their support in a vibrant way.
We also continued our CluneTech Goals for Good initiative with another round of friendly football at The Watershed, proving once again that a little teamwork goes a long way.
For every participant, CluneTech donated €5 to autism support organisations—helping to fund tailored services and meaningful programs for those on the spectrum. Thank you to everyone who walked, ran, played, and shared their #WorldAutismAwareness moments on Workvivo—your support truly matters.
This quarter, CluneTech had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the Kilkenny District League U-14 Girls’ Team to our Kilkenny HQ for a very special awards night. It was a fantastic evening of celebration as we honoured these incredible young athletes, who made history by winning the SFAI National League All Ireland Final.
The event was filled with pride and joy as we recognised the team’s remarkable achievement and the dedication, passion, and teamwork that made it possible. We were thrilled to be joined by Irish international footballer Ellen Molloy, who shared words of encouragement and inspiration with the team. The evening was made even more memorable with a heartfelt video message from Wexford FC’s Orlaith ‘Lolly’ Conlon, who congratulated the players on their success.
As proud sponsors of the Kilkenny District League U-14 Girls’ Team, CluneTech is committed to supporting the growth of women’s football and empowering the next generation of athletes. It was a true privilege to host this awards night and celebrate such an important milestone in their journey.
A huge thank you to the players, their families, coaches, and mentors for making the night so special.
As the team now prepares for their upcoming Gaynor Cup journey this June, CluneTech is excited to continue supporting them every step of the way. Here’s to even more success ahead!
March was a month to remember for Kilkenny basketball, with standout performances at both youth and masters levels—and CluneTech was proud to be part of the action.
It was a proud day at the office as the Kilkenny Stars U11 Boys team clinched the U12 League title, showing incredible grit, growth, and teamwork. These rising stars continue to go from strength to strength, and we’re thrilled to support their journey. Huge congratulations to the entire team and a big shoutout to Head Coach Damien Brett for his dedication and leadership.
Meanwhile, the city also played host to the exciting Kilkenny Masters Basketball Weekend, welcoming 36 teams and over 50 matches across three venues. The event was a huge success, capped off with a brilliant win in the Women’s Final for CluneTech’s very own Aoife Walsh—a true highlight of the tournament.
CluneTech was delighted to sponsor O’Loughlin’s Hall, one of the key venues for the weekend, and to continue backing the growth of basketball in Kilkenny, from youth leagues to masters level.
A big thank you to all the coaches, players, organisers, and supporters who make moments like these possible. We can’t wait to see what’s next—on and off the court.
In February, CluneTech had the privilege of attending the Kilkenny GAA Na Cait Óga Information Session 2025—and what a night it was!
Hosted at Hotel Kilkenny, the event offered a behind-the-scenes look at the exciting plans for the year ahead at the Kilkenny GAA Academy. CluneTech’s Marketing & Communications Manager, Lauren Cleere, was on hand to capture the evening, which featured valuable insights from Michael Fennelly, Performance Lead at Kilkenny GAA, and our very own John McCarthy, Facilities Manager at CluneTech, who proudly stepped into the role of CluneTech Ambassador for the night.
We also heard from Chloe Hennessy, Employee Experience Manager at CluneTech, who spoke about our continued commitment to supporting the Kilkenny GAA Academy through sponsorship and community partnership.
The Academy continues to deliver excellence, providing young athletes with top-tier resources, expert guidance, and a culture that nurtures success. A huge thank you to Kilkenny GAA for such an insightful and inspiring evening. We’re honoured to be part of the journey and can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the Na Cait Óga Class of 2025.

Every year, on March 1st, our colleagues in Bulgaria celebrate Baba Marta, a Bulgarian holiday deeply rooted in folklore and culture, symbolizing the arrival of spring and the wish for good health.
To mark the holiday, our teams in Varna and Veliko Tarnovo organize annual charity bazaars in support of children with special needs.
Thanks to our employees' contributions, a donation of 765 BGN was made to Karin Dom – a long-term CSR partner of CluneTech and one of Bulgaria’s most modern centers, providing a range of social, health, and educational services for children with special needs.
Additionally, 600 BGN was donated for craft materials for the children at the Day Center for Disabilities "Daga" in Veliko Tarnovo, ensuring that children and young people with disabilities receive rehabilitation and engaging activities that support their development and social integration.
Introduced in 2021, our CSR Volunteer Day empowers each employee to give back to the charities and causes closest to them. Since the inception of Volunteer Day, 160+ CluneTech employees have contributed to causes which they find meaningful, and this number keeps growing. See what they had to share with us about their experience this quarter:
Baba Marta Volunteers
In preparation for this year’s Baba Marta celebrations, over 40 colleagues in our Varna office joined forces using their CSR volunteer day to hand-craft some martenitsi that were later sold at our in-house and other local charity markets in aid of children with special needs. A great tradition and a great use of their Volunteer Day!
Blood Donation as part of Health & Wellbeing Week
19 colleagues participated in CluneTech’s first-ever blood donation campaign as part of Health & Wellbeing Week!
In 2024, in Bulgaria, blood donation was recognized as a voluntary activity for which the company allows employees to use their company-paid volunteer day. This made organizing our blood donation campaign only a matter of time—and we couldn’t be prouder of the impact we’ve made together.
Charity Walk for 'Caritas Bulgaria'
34 people took part in this initiative, and as a result, CluneTech donated €10 for every participant—a collective contribution to help improve the lives of elderly people in Bulgaria.
For 22 years, 'Caritas' has been providing essential care to elderly individuals across the country. Through their Home Care Centers, dedicated nurses and social assistants, 'Caritas' help elderly people offering healthcare, hygiene assistance, and social support.
Their work brings comfort, dignity, and connection to those who need it most.
John Murphy with the Irish Cancer Society
This March, CluneTech’s John Murphy had the opportunity to give back by volunteering with The Irish Cancer Society on Daffodil Day. It was a fantastic experience supporting such a worthy cause, and John encouraged everyone to get involved and show their support. It’s always inspiring to see CluneTech employees giving their time to make a difference in the community!
