Brewery rewards ‘business heads with social hearts’

PEOPLE with “business heads and social hearts” were rewarded when the country’s best known brewer handed over €1 million in awards.

A service focusing on suicide prevention, a bereavement support organisation and a grow your own food initiative were among 10 projects which each received €100,000.

Launched during last year’s 250th anniversary of the brewery, the Arthur Guinness Fund is investing €2.5 million over the next two years in social entrepreneur initiatives.
