Project Support

The project was promoted by Strange Boat Donor Foundation, an Irish registered organ donation charity, in association with Organ Donation & Transplant Ireland (ODTI), the Irish statutory body established to provide governance, integration and leadership for organ donation and transplantation in Ireland.

It had the backing and support of Government departments, health services and ODT representative associations from across the Island of Ireland, as well as the civic authorities in all of its major cities. 

The private hospital group, Bon Secours Health System, was also a generous benefactor of the project.

The proactive involvement and support of the many related agencies and associations were fundamental to its success.
