Clare SVP Launches Christmas Appeal

Clare people are being called upon to play their part in ensuring all families in this county can enjoy a Christmas with dignity. Saint Vincent De Paul MidWest has launched its annual appeal for the festive season entitled "The Wonder of Christmas". Since January, the charity has received over 22,500 requests for help across the region and by the end of the year this figure is forecast to rise to 26,500. Clare SVP President Denis Carthy says those who donate can nominate their own local communities to receive the funding.
