Support Spraoi agus
Spórt in Carndonagh
02.11.20
SPRAOÍ agus Spórt has
appealed to the local community to support their new €2K
fundraising draw, which aims to help mitigate the impact
of a second lockdown and enable the social enterprise
from Carndonagh to continue providing its vital services
for children & families throughout Inishowen during the
coronavirus pandemic.
10 x €200 vouchers are up for grabs in the new Spraoi
agus Spórt fundraising draw. Entry fee for all 10 draws
is €20, which is only €2 per draw! Winners will be able
to choose from a range of vouchers available for Smyths
Toys, local supermarkets, oil companies or the cash
equivalent. |
IDuring the first Covid-19
lockdown, Spraoi agus Spórt delivered wide-ranging
supports to the local community in Inishowen. These
included 898 calls taken through their Project Cineál
grocery & prescriptions delivery service for older
people, 200 parcels delivered through the Inishowen Food
Bank, 2,500 hours of alternative respite for families of
children and teenagers with a disability and/or autism
and the production of over 1,000 visors for frontline
workers.
Urging the public to support the new draw, Spraoi agus
Spórt Manager Eimear McLaughlin said: “Due to Covid-19
restrictions we have had to cancel our annual
fundraisers including the Couch to 5K, the Golf Classic,
coffee morning and bag packs.
“Our only fundraising was through our charity shop Fadó
but as of the 15th October and Level 4 restrictions, we
had to close its doors to the public and will now be
operating as a ‘click and collect’ function.
“We have had to come up with new ideas, like the €2K
fundraising draw to ensure we will continue to offer our
range of services. We are asking the people who would
normally contribute to our annual fundraisers to now
support our draw. We are more reliant on the goodwill of
the Inishowen public now than in the last 10 years of
providing services locally.
“However, I also want to reassure people that we are
doing everything in our power to continue to offer vital
services to meet the needs of the community.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the
people and businesses throughout Inishowen who have
already supported Spraoi agus Spórt during this
difficult and uncertain time.

€2K fundraising draw please Click Here .
“Alternatively, you can also find out more about our new
draw or donate to Spraoi agus Spórt in the more
‘traditional way’ by contacting us on 074 937 3303 or
