Rise & Shine Group 129 New Ross

Yesterday, we were delighted to attend the NRCU - New Ross Credit Union community fund awards night and receive a very generous award of €2000!👏

The money we received from NRCU will fully cover one child’s cost of their trip to France with our group for a once in a lifetime experience and a chance for a child with additional needs to make new friendships, experiences and memories ❤️

Thank you so much to the New Ross Credit Union for picking our charity for the Community Fund we are very thankful to receive this generous donation!

Massive thanks to everyone who supported us yesterday at the ploughing ,
We had a huge success and raised in excess of 5000 euro which is a good chunk towards our fundraising target

Thanks to our team of volunteers John Hickey, Nicholas Kehoe , Yvonne Mahon, Nicko Chapman and Pete Mullan along with the team from head office James McHugh , Bernadette Connolly with her husband Micheal and daughter Maura , we all had a great day

Hugh thanks to Angus beef Ireland who facilitated us , and allowed us take part on their stall

We all thoroughly enjoyed the beef burger and steak sandwich for lunch

If your at the ploughing today drop in to stand 142 to support our neighbours in the gorey group who will be manning the stall today
