• 🤝 Ballymote Community Project Donation 🤝

  Sun 17 Jul 2022

  After a recent funding application, David McCarthy (Manager of the Ballymote Community Project) recently presented St Colmcille’s PS with a £2000 donation towards our Summer Programme which was delivered in partnership with St Colmcille’s Youth Club. This funding was very necessary as we were successful in our aim to provide a popular low cost Summer Programme to our families in both morning and afternoon sessions. With over 20 staff employed and numerous resources required to provide for approx 300 children over the 3 weeks, the generosity of the Board of the Ballymote Community Project is deeply appreciated.
