Harris Helps: Standing Together, Supporting Change
At Harris PR, we believe that business can and should be a force for good. Through our Harris Helps initiative, we’re proud to support organisations and individuals working for equality, compassion, dignity, and justice — at home and abroad.
Here’s a look at some of the causes we’ve supported recently, each one close to the hearts of our team and community.
Supporting Equality & Inclusion in Ireland
In April, we partnered with the Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) whose vital work advances the rights and wellbeing of transgender people through advocacy, education, and community support.
In May, we’re backing Jigsaw the National Centre for Youth Mental Health, which provides essential services and resources to help young people across Ireland feel heard, supported, and empowered.
To mark 10 years since the Marriage Equality vote, we’re also proud to support Belong To Youth Services, who work with LGBTQ+ young people to create safe, welcoming spaces and advocate for equal rights and opportunities.
Reflecting on our own small part in the #VoteWithUs campaign over a decade ago, we remain committed to a future where every person is seen, respected, and celebrated — and we know there’s still work to do:
Protect LGBTQI+ young people
Ensure inclusive and compassionate trans healthcare
End extreme hate speech
Build inclusive schools, workplaces, and communities
Secure equal rights for children of LGBTQI+ families
Keep learning, showing up, and supporting
And always remember: Pride is a protest

Medical Aid for Palestinians
As part of our ongoing Harris Helps efforts, we’re also supporting Medical Aid for Palestinians, a charity delivering life-saving medical support in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
In response to the worsening humanitarian crisis, we’ve launched a fundraiser — starting with a €250 donation from Harris — and we’re encouraging our network to get involved. Whether through donations, sharing, or advocacy, every action matters.
Let’s stand in solidarity with those on the front lines of care.

Running for Good: Fundraisers Close to Home
Jess Kelly’s Mini Marathon for the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre
Jess is running the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon in support of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC), raising funds for vital counselling and advocacy services for survivors. We’re proud to support her and this incredibly important cause.

In Memory of Adrian Caldwell: Supporting Northern Ireland Hospice
Adrian Caldwell was a valued member of our wider Harris family. In his memory, his loved ones completed a marathon relay to raise funds for the Northern Ireland Hospice, whose care provided great comfort to Adrian and his family. We are honoured to contribute in his name.

Remembering Gina McCarthy: A Gift for Her Son’s Future
Following the untimely passing of Gina McCarthy, a much-loved colleague at Ford, Harris made a donation to support her son’s education fund. It’s a small gesture to honour her memory and the future she worked so hard to build for her family.
