We know how kind and supportive all our followers are, so we thought we’d ask! 🐴

Omagh RDA is looking for a lockable filing cabinet with a key to help us securely store important paperwork.

If anyone has one they no longer need and would be happy to donate it to us, we’d be so grateful.

Please send us a message if you can help - and feel free to share!

Thank you, as always, for supporting Omagh RDA
