Meath Womens Refuge

When ever we publicly fund raise we always give 10% of what we collect back to Meath Women s Refuge .  For us a as a club its important to help our community.

Recently we did a bag pack in Supervalu in Johnstown and it was very successful.  Having completed the fund raiser we presented the Refugee with a donations that was 10% of what we raised.  Pictured here is Paddy Allen Chairman presenting to Deidre Murphy of the Women’s Refuge for €136.
