The annual Christmas fundraiser held on the Main Street in Carrick-on-Suir on December 17 raised €4,600 for charities.
The funds were raised through a raffle and the sale of homemade cakes, Christmas table displays and decorations all of which were made and donated by the people of Carrick, Rathgormack and the surrounding communities.
The sale was generously supported by local people and the amount raised was €4,600. Cheques for €2,300 were presented to representatives from the two nominated charities, Benny Cooney from Carrick-on-Suir Meals Assistance Services and Rory Fitzgerald, regional director of Samaritans South Region.
The team behind the Christmas fundraiser wish to thank everyone who kindly supported the event in any way.
