With the festive season upon us, demand for the services offered by CA Support is on the rise. This Christmas, we are appealing to our members to embrace the idea of community and help those in need

As the holiday season approaches, many of us will be looking forward to the warmth, joy and wonder that comes with it. 

For some, however, Christmas and New Year celebrations can be a time of incredible stress, worry and insecurity. 

For individuals facing financial difficulties, in particular, the season can be a painful reminder of what is lacking and left unfulfilled. 

What is CA Support? 

CA Support is the charitable foundation of Chartered Accountants Ireland. Offering emergency financial assistance to members, students and families in need, it acts as a safety net for those in our community who find themselves in difficult circumstances. 
CA Support helps cover immediate and urgent needs like food, shelter, bills, medical expenses and other essentials such as back-to-school costs. 

At this time of year, we also strive to protect the magic of Christmas for families by contributing to the cost of toys and Christmas dinners. 

CA Support assists over 100 individuals and families at any given time, and demand is ever-growing. 

In 2024 alone, there was an 18 percent increase in cases compared to 2023. 
Like most registered charities, CA Support relies on the generosity and goodwill of the Chartered Accounting community to ensure that no one in the profession struggles alone. 

Why help? 

With state support only going so far, donations offer a lifeline to members to get them through often the toughest and most tumultuous times in their lives.

These donations can help families facing evictions, single parents struggling to manage household costs and childcare, and elderly members unable to cover medical expenses. 

They can help everyday members grappling with a loss of earnings due to illness, caring for dependants or struggling with mental health issues. 

By contributing to CA Support, you help ensure that everyone in our community – no matter their circumstances – is provided with safety and security. 

Please consider donating to CA Support this giving season. Together, we can make next year brighter for those who need it most.
