What people did with the funds…

Education at the STEP

programme - YMCA

• ‘I love it. I find it easy to use, everything in one placed, so organized and everything easy to find. It’s easier to move around the room and you can log in anywhere and do your work’

In action…

Saint Vincent DePaul at the Carmelite Centre

• I want to follow-up again in relation to your donation this year to confirm that the funds

have been spent on back to school assistance for a number of families in the area attending

Warrenmount Primary & Secondary school and St Enda's National School. Thanks to

your assistance we were able to cover the costs for 10 children.

Other than Christmas, the back to school period is our most demanding time of year, so

we are very appreciative of your support.

Liberties Breakfast Club

• This group of volunteers from the local community feed children before

school as well as having family hampers distributed fortnightly.

• This work is essential as it helps children to concentrate and focus on their

studies rather than on hunger pangs.
