On March 24th 2010, Temple Street Children's Hospital opened the new out-patient treatment unit dedicated to children suffering from Cystic Fibrosis.

This was part-funded by Friends First and their parent company's charitable foundation, the Eureko Achmea Foundation.

Orla Tinsley, guest speaker at the launch event, spoke of the difference the new unit would have made to her childhood having been a regular patient of Temple Street Children's Hospital.

Speaking about the partnership Adrian Hegarty, CEO, Friends First Group said, “Friends First employees played an important role in the decision to make the donation towards this Cystic Fibrosis unit; it is tremendous to see this partnership come to fruition. We are delighted to be part of this life changing service which will play such a significant role in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis patients.”
