This week we welcomed students from MTU who completed the Innovation Challenge with Marymount’s Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Depts.

Pictured are the students and staff involved and Dr. Breda O’Dwyer MTU Head of Organization and Professional Development and Caroline Barrett Enterprise intern.

The MTU Innovation Challenge involves external organisations (companies, charities, public bodies posing various challenges to teams of multidisciplinary students across MTU and partner universities in Europe and Africa.

Over 8 weeks the teams across the various disciplines of Engineering , Computer Science, Business and Marketing work together with the challenge owners to provide insights, propose or develop solutions and ultimately present a bespoke and tangible plan that sets out how the challenges and opportunities could be addressed.

We are incredibly grateful for the students’ creativity, collaboration, and fresh perspectives, which contribute to the ongoing development of our services.

🌻 Calling all schools – get involved in Sunflower Fun Day! 🌻

We’re inviting schools across Cork to take part in Sunflower Fun Day in support of Marymount Hospice a super fun and creative way for students to make a huge difference for families all over Cork.

We were delighted to recently welcome a fantastic group from Ballinora National School, who helped us officially launch this year’s campaign. They brought lots of laughter and joy to Marymount and captured Sunflower Fun Day is all about coming together, having fun and supporting an important cause.

By taking part, your school can help raise vital funds for Marymount’s specialist palliative care services, while giving students a chance to learn about compassion and kindness. Pupils are encouraged to wear yellow on the day (you choose when!) and bring in €2 to support Marymount.

The Fun Day Pack comes with colouring sheets and lots of other info – we also have seeds if you’d like to plant beautiful sunflowers.
