Charities For 2012
This year the Two charities are Kerry Stars and The Red Cross
Both organisations do fantastic work in our community.
The Kerry Stars Stars Special Olympics Club was formed in September 2002 by a group of families. Its objective was and still is to provide athletes with special needs the opportunity to be productive and respected members of society through participation in an all year round sports and competition programme. This in turn creates a more positive self image, inclusion, enjoyment and new friendships for the athletes.

The Irish Red Cross provides a number of services at home in Ireland.
In Ireland, the Red Cross provides both emergency services through its Mountain Rescue Team as well as a variety of broadly-based community services including youthwork and care for the sick and elderly. Moreover, the Red Cross has secured both national and European recognition for its high-quality courses in First-Aid for individuals, groups and employers, which is based on its own extensive experience in the provision of First-Aid at both national and local events.
