Children’s Charity Wins €10,000 PR Campaign from Elevate
Kildare-based children’s charity Sensational Kids has been named the winner of a €10,000 public relations campaign competition run by Elevate PR to mark its 10th year in business.
Over the next few months, Elevate will work with the charity to devise a public relations strategy.
Sensational Kids runs Ireland’s only not-for-profit toy store to fund its activities, including subsidized occupational and speech and language therapy, educational and psychological assessments, reading tuition, craniosacral therapy, play therapy, and orthoscopics. The funded services are delivered to children with autism spectrum disorders, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, dyspraxia, global developmental delays, dyslexia, sensory processing disorders, ADD, ADHD, and many other developmental conditions and delays.
Sensational Kids also provides training workshops for people working with children with special needs.
“As part of our 10th anniversary, we were delighted to give something back by offering a PR campaign to the value of €10,000,” said Emma Kelly, managing director of Elevate PR. “Over 100 organizations entered the Facebook competition, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting our shortlisted finalists.
“In the end, Sensational Kids stood out because of their passion and dedication to an excellent cause. In just four short years, they provide services to more than 120 children each week and fund them through their not-for-profit toy shop. We’re looking forward to working with them and are already looking for a Dublin location for a pop-up Christmas toy shop.”
The other seven competition finalists, who submitted a pitch to Elevate earlier this year, were An Óige, Dayout.ie, Digital Mines, First Date.ie, Irish Deaf Kids, Irish Girl Guides, and Treehouse Republic.
