ABOUT 100 or so people attended a fundraising event for Kerry Rape And Sexual Abuse Centre in The Meadowlands Hotel last Saturday night.
The event called ‘Giving Something Back’ was organised by Laura McCarthy of Manor, during the night she gave a speech about the importance of victims of sexual abuse coming forward.
“It’s a vital service for the community and they are lacking funds this year so I decided I would give them a helping hand,” said Laura McCarthy.
“The fact that someone in the public is willing to support the work we do, separate to the staff and volunteers at the Kerry Rape Crisis Centre, means an awful lot to us,” said Vera O’Leary manager of Kerry Rape Crisis Centre.
The night featured a band plus spot prizes and karaoke.
“We’re really, very grateful to Laura and her family and friends for doing this for us,” she added.
