In 2008 AIB significantly expanded the programme to include children with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities and we invited our customers and local communities to have a say in who they wanted to support. AIB donated a total of €1.85 million to local deserving projects for children. AIB's 185 main branches each awarded €10,000 to local projects and recipients chosen by a public text vote from a shortlist of groups in their community.
A further enhancement to this programme included a donation of €1.4 million towards four innovative flagship projects which impacted and benefited over 950 children nationwide. For 2008, the chosen flagship projects were: Festina Lente, Bray; Limerick Youth Service; Ability West, Galway and St. Joseph's School for the Visually Impaired in Drumconrda, Dublin.
