'Tenner a Month' for Maintain Hope

The Maintain Hope 'Tenner a Month' campaign will be launched for this winter season outside Nolans Butchers on 21 November, writes Gerry O'Donoghue, the founder of the charity.

We will be encouraging people to consider donating €10 per month to help secure the welfare of the children who live in Maintain Hope Children's Home in Ngong, Kenya.

As a Christmas Gift idea, it is possible to make the donation on behalf of a friend or relative and they will receive a card acknowledging the donation.

We are asking businesses and workplaces to consider nominating an individual to collect the 'tenner' and be responsible for remitting it to Maintain Hope.

We will be outside Nolans from 10am until lunch on the day.

Our annual 'A Christmas Gathering' event is also coming closer, on 17 December in Kilcullen Town Hall. Tickets are available from today in Berneys Chemists.
