Camlough community spirit has once again shone brightly as the Farrell family's Annual Christmas Eve Collection raised an impressive £11,396.17 for PIPS Hope and Support. The collection, held in memory of John and Stephen Farrell, has now raised a total of £79,866.25 since its inception.
This year's event was boosted by a special raffle organised by Camlough ABC, adding to the incredible fundraising effort.
Sean Farrell, speaking on behalf of the family, expressed his gratitude to all involved: "We are incredibly thankful to our friends, family members, neighbours, and everyone who helped make this year's collection another success. A special thanks to the commuters and donors who gave so generously, as well as those who volunteered their time to support our efforts. Your kindness helps us keep John and Stephen's memory alive while making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most."
The impact of this community initiative was highlighted by PIPS Hope and Support CEO Seamus McCabe, who said: "On behalf of everyone at PIPS Hope and Support, I want to extend our deepest thanks to Sean, the Farrell family, and their incredible team of volunteers. The dedication and generosity displayed by the Farrell family and the wider community is truly inspiring. What makes this initiative even more remarkable is the long-standing commitment of many volunteers, who return year after year to support this meaningful cause. Their loyalty and devotion to the Farrell family and our charity demonstrate the very best of community spirit. This enduring support has a profound impact on individuals and families experiencing emotional distress, ensuring they receive the vital help they need. We are deeply moved and forever grateful for all they do."
The funds raised will directly support PIPS Hope and Support's vital services, providing assistance to individuals and families experiencing emotional distress in the local community.
