At SumGood our goal is to raise funds through positive, innovative and fun methods – like our live & online art auctions and our pop up restaurant events – and use those funds to fund our KickStart Kitchen Chef Training Programme – which offers free chef training and networking services to anyone currently facing a barrier to employment.
Our pilot and inaugural course taking place in October 2025 is working with young people living in Direct Provision.
SumGood Founder Andy Sweeney has 14+ years experience as Founder and Head of Fundraising at The SCOOP Foundation.
SumGood Co-Founder George Gerard Mealy has 17 years’ experience as a top auctioneer and 14 years’ experience as a Board Member of a SCOOP.
Together we want to create a social enterprise unlike any other seen in Ireland before, one that has love and innovation at the heart of everything we do.
A social enterprise is an enterprise whose objective is to achieve a social or environmental impact, rather than maximising profit for its owners or shareholders. It pursues its objectives by trading on an ongoing basis through the provision of goods and/ or services, and by reinvesting surpluses fully or primarily into achieving social objectives. National Social Enterprise Policy for Ireland 2024 – 2027
SumGood was incorporated in June 2023 and operates as a company limited by guarantee, meaning there is no share capital divided by our two directors or board members. Profits are invested back into our mission which focuses on having a positive social impact.
We are creating an Board / Advisory Panel of legal, accounting, entrepreneurial and creative leaders in order to guide and drive SumGood forward and to ensure we are meeting all of our legal, and moral, requirements.
Get involved now. Like right now.
