The group have organised a number of charity events to date at a local level.

In recent days, the group held an information stall in Siopa Mhicí. The group would like to thank Anne Gallagher and Sinn Féin Councillor John Shéamuis Ó Fearraigh who stood at the stall and offered information to those who were in the local shop.

On July 23rd, John Hogan will entertain the masses at the Gweedore Bar in Falcarragh in a bid to raise funds for the charity event.

Tickets will be €10 on entry and it promises to be a magnificent night.
