Dear all,

Welcome to the 2nd edition of our volunteer newsletter. I want to say a special thank you to the volunteers who participated in the Women’s Mini Marathon for us this year, sponsorship cards are still coming in and we really appreciate your hard work to support us in these difficult economic times. I ran myself this year and it was a great atmosphere, although my legs found the "standing room only" on the Luas a tough challenge on the way home that evening!

We are in the process of planning some information evenings for you, and I will be emailing you with further information on dates, so please contact the office if you need to update your contact details. The information evenings will provide an opportunity to share your experiences of visitation and to learn more about what we are doing this year to combat loneliness and to support our older friends. 

Eilis Murray
Coordinator
