Vodafone Foundation Ireland has opened its World of Difference funding programme
for 2012.

World of Difference supports social innovation by providing a salary for an individual
to work with an organisation they are passionate about helping. The salary is worth
€40,000 for a year.

The programme has been running since 2007 and last year’s winners included Laura
Hickey who worked with Arthritis Ireland to help their children’s services and Vincent
Howard who helped St John’s Ambulance introduce new ways of doing business.
