Cork autism charity awarded for Bright Ideas
The Rainbow Club for Children with Autism was one of 300 community projects nationwide that applied for a share of KBC bank’s inaugural €100,000 “Bright Ideas” community support fund, with 40 shortlisted entries selected by local judges. Ten projects, including the Rainbow Club, had been selected for a national final, decided by a public vote.
Rainbow Club founder Karen O’Mahony said the group, entirely run by volunteers, was delighted with its unexpected win: “It’s fabulous. We’re still a bit in shock.”
