ALONE CEO, Sean Moynihan said “In ALONE we lost over 1,000 people from our direct community throughout the pandemic and it is only now that we feel we can pause and reflect together. There has been great loss felt also through our network of partner organisations. The past 20 months have been extremely hard on all of Irish society but to those that lost loved ones and could mourn them fully we really feel for today.
“The opportunity for us as a country is to use what we have learned about our current social infrastructure and improve our society, for the better. Our communities have contributed greatly during the pandemic and we need to continue this great community awakening.”
