A little Samhain treat for you!

Samhain is nearly here, the traditional Irish new year, when the nights draw in and the old year turns. It’s a time for taking stock and making room for what’s next, so a few of our favourite bits are going in a little Samhain sale.

They’re great products, made to last, and they’d love a good home before winter sets in.

Have a peek at what’s in the sale at wemakegood.ie.
Every purchase supports our work as a social enterprise, creating training and employment for people who need a supportive path in.

Last night the Dáil voted 79 to 71 to move ahead with scrapping the Triple Lock.

The government gave this huge change to Irish neutrality just three and a half hours of debate. Every opposition party stood against it.

This is an attempt to dismantle our neutrality and align Ireland with US and EU military power, the same powers that have backed Israel as it carries out a genocide against the Palestinian people.

The public hasn’t asked for this. A January 2025 Ireland Thinks poll found 75% of people want Ireland to keep its current neutrality policy. Even the most recent Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll (September 2026) found 68% back keeping our current model, with only 24% wanting change.

This is NOT over. The bill still has to get through Committee Stage, Report Stage and the Seanad. TDs with doubts can still be persuaded.

Find your TDs, get talking points and send an email or call in 30 seconds : https://ourtriplelock.ie/

Tell them: no removal of the Triple Lock without asking the people.

Introducing Our New Doll Collection, Inspired by Irish Mythology

We're delighted to launch a brand new collection of handmade dolls, inspired by figures from Irish and Celtic mythology: Brigid, Cú Chulainn and Selkie.

Each doll is stitched by hand and comes with a story card telling their tale, so kids get something to actually talk about, not just something to hold.

Brigid (Brídeóg) is the keeper of the fire, connected to healing and the return of spring. She's made from soft linen, carries a small flower bouquet, and comes with her own felt snake, a nod to the rising energy of spring on her feast day, Imbolc.

Cú Chulainn is the guardian of the house, built on the legend of the Hound of Culann. He'smadefrom linen and cotton, with soft faux fur detailing worked into his warrior's dress.

Selkie moves between the sea and the land, her story rooted in identity, freedom, and finding your way home. She wears a seal cape with a detachable fin, and carries a small seaweed bouquet.

The collection was designed by Nicolette Mai Xuanova, an Irish textile designer and NCAD graduate who has worked with us since 2025. Nicolette says of the collection: "We wanted to bring Irish folk stories to life for children. Ireland has its own rich heritage and tales which connect children to really important values in a way which is uniquely Irish."

Each doll is €49 and available now at wemakegood.ie, as well as a whole host of retail shops across the country.

We’re delighted our approach is being shared with the next generation of business leaders.

If you're a secondary school student studying business this year, there's a decent chance our story is sitting in your textbook. We’re back in the curriculum for a second year, and we're loving all the questions coming in from students who are studying us in class.
Here's our take on innovation: It is essential to being a WISE (Work Integration Social Enterprise).

For us, good business means recognising that being ethical, sustainable and profitable aren't separate goals, they work together. Good ideas solve more than one problem at once, for consumers, for people, and for the planet, and our best work does all three.

Take our new repair service and training programme as an example.
For the planet: Repair reduces the environmental burden of fashion.
For consumers: Repair solves a real problem. Garments that are damaged, worn, or out of shape don’t need to be thrown away. That means less spent on replacements, less waste generated, and clothes that stay in use for longer. Good for the wallet and good for the wardrobe.
For people: We subsidise free places on our training courses for people from disadvantaged groups, helping them build workplace skills, move towards employment and find community.
One idea. Three problems solved.

We also need to be operationally sustainable. Whenever we develop a new idea that hits all these goals, we do the research, talk to people, and spend time with spreadsheets and finance to check whether the market gap we've identified is real, and whether this new business can sustain itself. We give each new idea three years to reach that point, sometimes a little longer, so the rest of the business needs to support the innovation in the meantime..

As a charity and social enterprise, support funds help us on this journey, and we couldn't do it without them. Thanks to Rethink Irelandand Pobal

Starting something new is tough in today's business environment. Hard work, quality, and efficiency are essential. But with a good team behind you, it's worth it, especially when your work benefits so many different groups. That's what keeps you going when things get hard.

We need your vote!

Our new toy range has been shortlisted for the Irish Made Awards 2026 under the Sustainability Category. Yay!

For us, sustainability means the planet AND the people.

We use natural linens and textile offcuts and surplus fabric donated by designers, so nothing good goes to waste. Sustainable and circular by design!

We're also a nonprofit social enterprise. The people who make these toys come from direct provision, addiction services, the criminal justice system, and disability services. Every vote supports sustainable, meaningful employment.

The toys themselves celebrate native Irish wildlife, like the whorl snail and the honey bee. Small creatures that need awareness and protection.

Sustainability on many levels!!
