NCBI Carlow

Welcome to NCBI Carlow, located at Castle Street, 3 in the heart of Carlow. NCBI, the National Council for the Blind of Ireland, is a renowned charity organization that has recently celebrated the opening of its 100th charity shop. This milestone reflects the growing strength of NCBI's brand and its position as the second largest charity shop chain in the country.

NCBI Carlow is part of a nationwide network of shops that play a vital role in the charity's fundraising efforts. These efforts allow NCBI to provide life-changing services to over 6,000 individuals with sight loss and their families each year. The services offered by NCBI are not only life-changing but also holistic, providing support and empowerment to those in need.

As Ruairi McGinley, NCBI Director of Corporate Services, explains, the success of the retail shops is crucial for NCBI's mission. To continue providing their services, NCBI needs to raise €4 out of every €10 it spends. The high-quality items available at NCBI Carlow and other shops are highly regarded and offered at excellent prices, making them a popular choice for customers. By shopping at NCBI Carlow, you not only support a worthy cause but also discover top-quality items.

In addition to being a store, NCBI Carlow serves as a point of interest and an establishment in the local community. The shop provides a high-profile location for NCBI, allowing people to gather information about the organization and the services it offers. NCBI Carlow also accepts donations, ensuring a continuous supply of stock that includes ladies, gents, and kids clothes, bric a brac, and books.

NCBI Carlow is part of the NCBI Group, a company limited by guarantee and registered in Ireland. The company's registration number is 26293, and it operates under the charity number 20902.
