The event is open to everyone on Sunday, March 17th, from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM. It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a hearty meal with friends and family and embrace the St. Patrick’s Day community spirit.
Money raised will benefit Kilmacrennan, Termon, Gartan, Churchill and Trentagh Community First Responders, Cara House and Letterkenny Community Childcare Centre.
The three charities are the beneficiaries of this year’s North West 10k, taking place on Bank Holiday Monday the 6th of May in Letterkenny.
Kilmacrennan, Termon, Gartan, Churchill and Trentagh Community First Responders are a new group setup at the end of last year with the aim of helping members of the public that suffer cardiac arrest or other medical emergencies. They are raising money to facilitate the installation and maintenance of AEDs for public access in the areas that they cover.This will be achieved through the CFR Group’s trained volunteers. The Group will provide CPR/AED/CFR training to interested members of the public.
The work of Cara House includes activities, courses and interest groups as well as services. It proves a valuable resource for the whole Letterkenny community from young to old, especially at periods in their lives when individuals are vulnerable. Cara House welcomes everyone with respect, offering peer support, friendship and acceptance. It is socially inclusive, with high quality services and activities offered at a rate that makes them accessible to all. They hope to raise finance to acquire a vehicle for doing deliveries and other essential work in the local community.
Letterkenny Community Childcare Centre CLG has been in operation for over 40 years. They are a Centre of Excellence and have 157 children attending daily, supporting 128 families. LCCC is the only full day Community Childcare Centre in the town of Letterkenny. Currently they have a waiting list of 500 children and hope to relocate to increase capacity. They are committed to building a new facility to benefit the Community.
