Cope needs extra €30m a year: A cry for help

Cope Foundation is one of those unsung hero organisations that offers support and opportunity to those desperately in need of them. It helps those who might not or are unable to, find those basics of life elsewhere.

The foundation enriches the lives of over 2,500 children or adults — and their families — who use one of 69 facilities in Cork. The organisation and others like it are an uncontested good. Despite that, it needs an extra €30m a year to meet the rapidly growing demand for its services.
