Accepting the cheque from Tesco staff recently, Maeve Butler, Community Relations Co-ordinator with North West Hospice said “We are extremely grateful to the staff of Tesco in Carrick-on-Shannon for their support and for taking the initiative in organising this raffle. Our sincere thanks also goes to the people of the community who supported the raffle and gave so generously. We have to raise EUR1million every year through voluntary contributions, donations and fundraising events to keep our palliative care services in operation. This is a huge task and we can only do it through the generosity of local communities like Carrick-on-Shannon. We greatly appreciate your support”.
