We had a great evening of community spirit and positivity in Tullamore Court Hotel last Thursday 11th May. We made presentations to 83 groups who had applied for funding through our Community Support Fund.
Speakers on the night included our Chairperson Liam O’Callaghan, our CEO Paul Shaw and our Deputy CEO Caroline Collins-Murphy. Please see below a list of the recipients and an a brief outline of what they intend to use our donation for. Well done to all!
