At workLAB, we believe that business success should go hand-in-hand with community support. While we focus on providing flexible, professional offices and meeting rooms in Waterford, we are equally committed to making a meaningful local impact—and sometimes, that starts with something as simple as a bottle or a can.
Since June 2024, we have been working with the incredible team at Waterford Food Bank, collecting returnable bottles and cans across our office spaces. Through this small, sustainable initiative, we have helped raise over €11,500 to date—directly supporting over 250 families in our community who rely on food parcels.
Why We Got Involved
Waterford is at the heart of our business. From the professionals who use our meeting rooms to the entrepreneurs growing their businesses in our offices, we are part of a thriving local ecosystem—and we want to give back.
The opportunity to support Waterford Food Bank was a perfect fit:
• It’s simple: just collect returnable cans and bottles.
• It’s impactful: funds go directly to families in need.
• It’s collaborative: anyone in the business community can participate.
How You Can Join In
If you’re a business or organisation in Waterford, getting involved is easy:
1. Contact Waterford Food Bank to receive a printable poster for your workplace.
2. Set up a collection point in your office or communal space.
3. Schedule a collection with the WFB team once you’ve gathered enough items.
It’s a small effort with a big return—for the environment and for the people who need it most.
Join Us in Supporting Waterford
We’re proud to offer more than just workspaces—we’re building a space that supports people, both in business and in life. If you’re visiting our offices or booking a meeting room, you’ll likely see our collection points in action. Feel free to join us by bringing your own plastic bottle, aluminium or steel can that features the Re-turn logo or starting a similar initiative in your own workplace.
Let’s continue to grow, work, and support Waterford—together.
