On today’s show Caroline Lynch from the Irish Hospice foundation joined Máire to talk about the charity’s involvement with Londis, who celebrates 60 years. To mark the anniversary they are giving their customers the chance to share out €60,000 of their money between three deserving charity partners. The Irish Hospice Foundation is delighted to be one of the lucky three but now need help. For every purchase you make in your local Londis store, you will receive a Londis Token. Use your token and vote for Irish Hospice Foundation. The more tokens they get the bigger share of €60,000 will go to the Irish Hospice Foundation
James Lafferty from the Irish Red Cross Clare Branch was on the show to alert listeners to how the group will be fundraising on Friday at the Applegreen Filling Station – Ennis and Clare Marts Ltd on Thursday next – 23rd to raise much needed funds for a Community Vehicle/Ambulance/Mini Bus for the people of Clare (from 9am to 6pm).
