Pierce Higgins organised a group of his colleagues at RPS Group to do a Christmas Swim at the Sandycove 40 foot on December 23rd, and they raised over €700. Thanks to all who took the freezing plunge on our behalf!
The Community Foundation of Ireland
A special thank you to the Community Foundation. Through their generosity, Care Local and our community collaborators in the Stoneybatter area, developed an Older Men’s Committee, focusing on the needs of older, isolated men. The Older Men’s Drop-in Centre resulted from the input and leadership of these men.
Dublin Bus grant given for elder abuse awareness
With the funding received from the Dublin Bus Community Programme, Care Local, in partnership with DIT and the Dockland Senior Forum, will produce a video focused on improving the attitudes between young and old.
