Our Mission
‘‘Young people have so much to give to our society and our world and I want to give them every opportunity to develop their potential. Through the projects SIGNIFICANCE will support, young people will be inspired to reach high and achieve their best’.”
- Fr Dermott Donnelly
SIGNIFICANCE is a CIO established by the late Fr Dermott Donnelly, whose conviction was that young people are destined not merely for survival, nor even for conventional success, but for lives of true happiness and lasting significance.
Guided by that mission, the Trustees have advanced a series of tangible initiatives designed to open pathways of opportunity for the next generation.
At its core, the charity believes that when a young person discovers his or her own worth—when each comes to recognise an inherent and unshakeable “SIGNIFICANCE”—that discovery ignites the capacity to serve others, enrich communities, and inspire the wider world to become kinder, fairer, and more hopeful.
