Trócaire takes box campaign online with new app

This year you can keep your Trócaire box in your pocket — the charity has taken its 42-year-old campaign online with the creation of a mobile app.

It kicked off its annual Lenten campaign last month to help raise funds for families in some of the world’s poorest communities.

The drive already brings in around €8m each year — now the charity hopes to encourage even more people to donate with its Trócaire Box app, created in partnership with JustGiving, a social platform for charitable donations.
