Donation to Charity
Every year we select a charity and make a donation of €50.00 from the money we raise from our Christmas Concerts. This year we selected three worthy causes including 'Barrettstown', the 'Australian Bush-fires' and 'Jack and Jill'.
Following a vote the winning cause was the Australian Bush-Fires. We donated our money to WWF- World Wildlife Fund, who will use this money directly to protect and rescue the animals affected by the Australian bush-fires.
It is estimated that over a billion animals have been wiped out during the recent fires!
