Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan has returned home as an ambassador of a fund which supports local non-profit organisations focused on helping young people.
This is the second year Barry has been an ambassador of the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund, which has €200,000 in grants available this year. The project will focus on empowering young people through learning, inclusion and sustainable development.
Speaking about his own experience as an advocate for the importance of local youth groups, Barry said: “I launched the 2020 Coca-Cola Thank You Fund just before the pandemic, and it really struck a chord with me - meeting the young people whose lives had been so positively impacted by the programmes delivered as a result of this great support.
