THE Sports and Social Club in University Hospital Kerry this week received a consignment of the Kerry Gift Card.

Looking to throw their support behind Kerry businesses and to show their gratitude for the ongoing assistance from local businesses, the Club have purchased a batch of the new gift cards to be raffled amongst staff in the hospital.

Cora Walsh, speaking on behalf of the UHK Sports and Social Club said; “This year has been tough for everyone and our teams here in UHK more than ever need a reward this Christmas. While we won’t this year be able to host our usual Christmas party events, we want to make sure we can say thank you to the staff of UHK.

Despite the pressure local businesses have been under, they continued to support our team throughout the year, and with our staff based throughout the county the Kerry Gift Card is an ideal way to reward our team and pay back local businesses”.

Ken Tobin, CE of Tralee Chamber said; “When Cora and the team in UHK made contact, we were delighted to put them on to One4all to organise their corporate order of the Kerry Gift Card. It’s another great show of unity from the team in UHK to support local businesses throughout the county.

“The Card can be used in hotels, shops, salons, restaurants and many more businesses throughout Kerry, so no matter where they are based in Kerry, they have plenty of choice. We continue to urge people to get the Kerry Gift Card and spend it to give the benefit to businesses now when they need it.”

The Kerry Gift Card is being supported by the Chambers throughout Kerry and Kerry County Council in order to generate much needed local spend.

The public sector and corporate business community are being urged to consider the Kerry Gift Card as a reward for their staff this Christmas. For more details contact business@tralee.ie  or check out www.kerrygiftcard.ie
