We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported our two recent fundraising events. We had a very successful raffle at the craft fair in Oughterard Community Center on the 24th of November where we raised €951. We would like to thank the OCC Board for their support.
We held our coffee morning on Friday the 29th of November at Powers Thatch Bar and this event was a tremendous success where we raised €6624 and it was all thanks to you—those who attended, donated, baked and contributed in so many ways.

A special thank you to the local businesses and individuals who generously donated raffle prizes, and to Powers Thatch Bar for hosting us. Your contributions were invaluable.

The incredible turnout and sense of community spirit on the day, and the encouraging feedback we’ve received has been heartwarming. Thanks to your support, we’ve raised enough funds to purchase two more AED units for our team, which will help us respond even more effectively to emergencies.

Since our launch, we’ve attended many calls, making a real difference in our community, and this wouldn’t be possible without your ongoing support.

Thank you once again for being part of this journey with us!
