Annual charity event<\/h3>

Now in its second year, the annual PREM Group Charity Event<\/a> raises funds for a charity we hold close to our hearts – Beyond the Moon<\/a>.<\/p>

Spanning two weeks, our properties across Ireland, the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands came together to host a wide range of local fundraising activities.<\/p>

So far in 2025, we\u2019re delighted that our Charity Event together with the Charity Golf Day have raised over \u20ac34,400<\/b> which goes directly to the impactful work of Beyond the Moon who will support families with a sick child.<\/p>

Combined with all funds raised by PREM Group, since the start of our collaboration with Beyond the Moon in 2006, our total fundraising efforts now amount to \u20ac346,010<\/b> \u2013 enough to send 80 seriously ill children and their families on the holiday of a lifetime. To say we are thrilled with the funds raised for our nominated charity Beyond the Moon would be an understatement.<\/p>
