Thank you to the Achill Experience for their generous donation once again this year. Your continued support means so much to us. We are truly grateful to the entire community for always standing with us — your kindness helps keep our service thriving.

Santa and his elves worked their magic once more at Achill Experience on Sunday – it was a wonderful day and we were thrilled with how it went.

We were also delighted to have raised a brilliant €1,447 through ticket sales alongside the Christmas Raffle, winners for which were drawn that evening.

The money raised goes towards the wonderful work at St Colman’s Care Centre right here in Achill. Congratulations to everyone who won, and thank you to each of you who bought tickets and especially to every person who donated any of the prizes.

Merry Christmas!
