Thank you for supporting our Easter Raffle.

We are fundraising to restore Lizzie’s Cottage, a beautiful 100 year old stone cottage we have purchased next to our school. This will enhance the built heritage of the area and will provide much needed additional spaces for student use. All funds raised here will go directly to this cause.

The Draw took place on Fri, April 29th, 2022.

We raised just over € 3,000.00 thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and those who purchased tickets and made donations.

Many thanks […]
