Intro:
Inspired by philanthropists like ‘Chuck Feeney’ and Warren Buffett, Northern Ireland businessman Mervyn McCall and his wife Wilma set up the McCall Foundation because they wanted to give something back. Having benefited from the help of others as well as enjoying a lot of good luck along the way Mervyn was inspired by Raymond, a Carrick taxi driver to set up his own charitable Fund:
Raymond runs a charity golf day every year raising money to help people local to the Carrick area and “seeing the impact that £1000 or £2000 had on people was immense and opened my eyes to how even a small amount of money can make a difference".
Area:
