APA EVENTS


APA ​Networking Event 2025

APA held our  Annual Networking Event in the Seven Oaks Hotel Carlow on Wednesday, 26th November 2025 with guest speakers from APA and CVM, Cllr. Ken Murnane and Writer Cathy Kelly. We heard how the support of volunteers, staff and friends of APA are transforming the lives of Domestic Workers and Street Children in Ethiopia and Tanzania. 

The APA-CVM Joint Strategic Plan 2025 - 2030 was launched at the Networking Event with Paolo Padovani, CVM President from Italy and John Rice, APA Chairperson Ireland signing the joint the Strategic Plan. 

There was a Pop-Up Shop, Furniture Restoration, Craft Demonstrations and a Fashion Show promoting the circular economy. The Fashion Show had
 a selection of pre loved fashion now available through APA including bright cultural pieces to elegant evening wear.  It was wonderful evening. Thank you to APA Volunteers, Staff, Friends and everyone who came to the event and for your ongoing support throughout the year.

Fundraising Event with Salesforce

To recognise UN INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR ABOLITION OF SLAVERY on the 2nd DECEMBER '24, APA and Salesforce Ireland partnered together to raise funds for Domestic Workers and
​Street Children in Ethiopia and Tanzania.
We organised a "VINTAGE POP UP SHOP" event selling recycled, upcycled and vintage items in the Salesforce Tower, Dublin which was a huge success.
We would like to THANK everyone in Salesforce Ireland for facilitating this exciting event.
