Our Club was delighted to welcome Pat McFadden and Geraldine Rossley from SVP,and John Curran from the We Care Food Bank to our weekly lunch today. Pat and John gave an outline of their respective organisations’ current activities, and members heard of the sterling work carried out by nearly 100 dedicated volunteers across the two charities. Both were immensely grateful for our continued support of their work. This year Rotary donated €6000 to SVP from proceeds from the Tree of Remembrance at Christmas 2025 and €2,250 to the We Care Food Bank from proceeds of our Winter Woolie Warmer 5k in November 2025.
We were also pleased to welcome Gérard McCormick from Magees chemist to thank him for many years of donating toiletries for our Christmas Nursing Home visits. Gérard gave us a lovely personal account of how his family came to support this good cause and on our behalf Seamus Devine presented Gérard with a token of our appreciation.
