Charity winners of All-New Renault Clios


The Care Trust (TCT), with the support of Renault Ireland, recently handed over two All-New Renault Clios to Pat Qualter of Corrandulla, Co Galway, and Mayo man Eamonn Bourke of Ballina, at JJ Burke Renault in Ballinrobe, Co Mayo, writes Trish Whelan.

Earlier this year, Renault Ireland announced a new partnership with Irish charity The Care Trust to supply 36 All-New Renault Clios for its series of fundraising lottery draws in 2020. The Care Trust runs three draws every month, and a new Clio must be won in every draw. The cars were handed over to the lucky winners following the January lottery draw.

The Care Trust is a non-profit organisation and a registered charity raising much needed funds for the CRC, Rehab, and the Mater University Hospital since1974. In 2019, The Care Trust provided €2.15 million to the aforementioned from its fundraising efforts. These funds help to ensure that thousands of children and adults with physical, medical or intellectual disabilities, those who are socially disadvantaged and those requiring medical care, have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

In the 30 years since this supermini first went on sale, Clio has become Renault’s best-selling model worldwide with 15 million Clios finding homes. The fifth generation of Clio arrived with a totally refreshed exterior styling combined with revolutionary interior design. It is also one of the safest cars in its class with a maximum five-star EuroNCAP rating and the best-selling car in its class in Ireland in January 2020.

Maria Donnelly of Terenure in Dublin was the third winner of a New Renault Clio in The Care Trust January draw.
