Wednesday 10th December – Edenderry, Co. Offaly from 6.30pm to 8pm

The Santa Truck is a heartwarming initiative that transforms a Judge Haulage truck into a mobile winter wonderland, complete with lights, music, and festive cheer while supporting LauraLynn. Families are invited to meet Santa, take photos, come on board and enjoy the spectacle with donations collected for LauraLynn.
“I am delighted to be supporting the Santa Truck fundraiser this year in aid of LauraLynn, who do incredible work for seriously ill children and their families right across the country.” said Ryan Andrews. “Make sure to check the Santa Truck locations and get out and support LauraLynn all while having an amazing festive evening. It’s not to be missed!”
The Santa Truck will visit multiple locations throughout November and December. Offaly residents are welcome to come and join the festive cheer, meet Santa and Mrs Claus and support a good cause. Donations for LauraLynn will be collected at each event or online at www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/LauraLynnSantaTruck25.
LauraLynn provides specialist palliative care to children from birth to 18 years, offering services such as symptom management, music and play therapy, psychological support, and end-of-life care, all delivered in the hospice, in hospitals, and in family homes across Ireland.
There are lots of ways to support LauraLynn’s vital work this Christmas including a visit to The Santa Truck or by making a donation in support of the charity’s Christmas Appeal by visiting lauralynn.ie/donate.
