Doing Our Bit
Over the years we have done our bit by helping local charities in the following ways:
2020 Not all SOUPerheros wear capes!
Clean Coasts Big Beach Clean 2019
Clean Coasts manager, Sinead McCoy commented Last year over 187 beach cleans took place last year as part of our Big Beach Clean, engaging 3,652 volunteers who removed over 32 tonnes of marine litter from our coastline, thanks to our incredible Clean Coasts volunteers who made an amazing effort over this week. We are excited to build on this success and get even more volunteers out next year!
Speaking at the launch Colum O’ Sullivan of Cully and Sully said, “We are really conscious about the impact of single-use plastic on our environment and have been actively taking steps to reduce the plastic we have in our products and ensure that our range is packed in recyclable materials. We really wanted to get involved to help spread the word about this terrific Clean Coasts event and encourage everyone to get out and take part.
GIY 2015- 2019
From 2015- 2019 we partnered with not for profit GIY (Grow it Yourself). Each year we ran a campaign to get people in work or secondary school students growing their own veg in work or school. 27,510 students in school and 5,000 people in work have grown veg as part of our campaigns with GIY
In 2019, over half of secondary schools (363 schools) took part in #GROW2CEO planting 327,500 spinach seeds Cork Association for Autism, Laura Lynn Children’s Hospice, Starlight UK and 3 winning schools all benefited from a Food Garden worth €3,000 as the campaigns annual prize.

Focus Ireland Shine a Light Night October 2018
The team at Cully and Sully slept out for one night on Spike Island as part of Focus Irelands Shine a Light Night. We raised over €11,000 to help Focus Ireland support those in or facing homelessness.
More than 8,500 people are homeless in Ireland. 1 in 3 using homeless services is a child. In 2016 alone, Focus Ireland supported over 13,500 people · We have over 70 projects across Ireland providing warm meals, practical support and education along with safe and secure housing.
Heart Children Ireland 2015
We launched a limited-edition Magic Bean soup on Valentine's day 2015. As beans are good fro your heat this was in association with Hearth Children Ireland, a support group for parent and families of children with congenital heart disease. For every Magic Bean soup sold, we gave a donation to Heart Children Ireland.
Cully presented a cheque for €5,000 to the organization at Crumlin Hospital
