Write a commentThis Saturday 28th October will see the Newry Junior Chamber members taking over all three Southern Area Hospice Shops in Newry, Rathfriland and Banbridge in an Apprentice style challenge for a second year running.
Each shop will be led by a captain and team members from the Newry Junior Chamber and will compete with each other to raise the most amount of money to be crowned winner. The three teams will be headed up by Jolene O’Hare from CTS Projects, who will be taking over the Newry Shop, Tara McAteer from Space who will be in the Rathfriland Shop and Martin Murtagh, Smart Online who is leading the team in the Banbridge Shop. All teams will be fundraising in the build up to the shop takeover and will also have some fantastic items on sale for one day only.
We would like to invite everyone to visit the Hospice shops on Saturday 28th October from 9.30am – 4pm and enjoy some of the bargains, entertainment and fashion advice on offer.

Majella Gollogly, Fundraising Manager said “We are delighted to welcome the Newry Junior Chamber members on board for a second year in this unique fundraising challenge and thank their members for the time and effort they are putting into the task. Last year, collectively the three teams raised almost £9,000 for Hospice and we are extremely grateful. There will be a great atmosphere in each location on the 28th October and I urge the public to get behind them and make a visit to our Hospice shops”.
