City insurance firm partners with 'Best Buddies' to support people with disabilities

City-based travel insurance firm MAWDY has partnered with non-profit 'Best Buddies' to support people with intellectual disabilities.

Best Buddies is a global volunteer led organisation and this partnership will bring its 'Transitions' programme to Ireland for the first time.

Over 12 months, it'll offer skills-building workshops, personal mentoring and inclusive events - aimed at supporting those with intellectual disabilities as they transition after school.

International firm MAWDY employs 150 people in Galway and this latest partnership is also supported by Fundación MAPFRE.
