What Rehab Group does

Rehab Group is an Irish charitable non-profit organization founded in 1949 that provides integrated disability services across Ireland, Scotland, and Poland. The organization serves more than 12,800 people with disabilities annually through a network of 170+ locations and a team of 2,900+ employees, operating through three core divisions: RehabCare delivers health and social care services including residential, respite, day, and outreach support across 117 locations; National Learning Network provides flexible training programmes and education through 50 centres nationwide; and Rehab Enterprises operates social enterprise businesses (Rehab Recycle for IT recycling and data destruction processing 80,000 kg/month, Rehab Logistics for supply chain services with facilities in Ireland and Poland, Promise IT for refurbished equipment sales, and Haven PTS in Scotland).

The organization's revenue model is diversified across multiple streams: primary funding comes from Ireland's Health Service Executive under Section 39 of the Health Act 2004 for statutory disability services, supplemented by social enterprise revenue from commercial clients (including DuPont, Aldi, Google, Airbnb, Symantec, Amgen, and Lenovo), charitable fundraising through The Care Trust (a 50/50 joint venture with the Central Remedial Clinic operating monthly prize draws at €15/month), community events (Dublin Marathon, Cuppa for Rehab, Abseil events), corporate partnerships (1,500+ employer partners annually), and individual donations.

The organization holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications across its facilities, complies with HIQA standards and GDPR requirements, and is regulated by the Charities Regulator in Ireland. Rehab Group operates as Ireland's largest single non-government employer of people with disabilities, with over half of Rehab Enterprises' 400+ employees being people with disabilities, reflecting its mission-driven integrated employment model.
