Carrick-on-Suir Girl has raised €888 for her NYFP
Hannah is a member of Foróige in Carrick-on-Suir Neighbourhood Youth and Family Project. Hannah has started making and selling her own face masks that can be worn to protect against Covid-19. She has had great success with this, and has made €888.
Hannah has donated all of this money to Carrick-on-Suir NYFP, as she said she wanted to give back to a group that has given so much to her over the past couple of years.
We are so proud of Hannah, and also so grateful for the money that she has raised.
Volunteers Make an Enormous Contribution to Irish society
As we come to the end of Foróige's Volunteer Appreciation Week, I am struck by the generosity and selflessness of so many Foróige volunteers - be they leaders in clubs, Mentors in Big Brothers Big Sisters, judges in NFTE, project volunteers or board members. We know that in recent times this generosity has resulted in Foróige volunteers giving close to 400,000 hours of time each year.
