Redwood National School pupils raise money for North Tipp Hospice
A total of €1,450 was raised for North Tipperary Hospice by the children of Redwood NS
The pupils, parents, and staff of Redwood National School, along with the local community, came together recently to help fundraise for North Tipperary Hospice.
Redwood NS is a two-teacher school situated in a picturesque rural, farming, area in Lorrha Parish.
Redwood NS is very much at the heart of their local community with a very active and involved Parents Association.
It was identified at a Parents Association meeting that the school could lead the way in giving back to its community in a meaningful manner.
With families in the locality and school community unfortunately affected by cancer, North Tipperary Hospice was chosen and a fundraiser was organised.
Following a Saturday evening Mass in Redwood Church a social evening was held in Redwood NS with tea, refreshments, and a Monster Raffle.
A total of €1,450 was raised for North Tipperary Hospice and the children of Redwood NS very proudly made a presentation to Helen Walshe, on behalf of North Tipp Hospice, at the school recently.
The school would like to thank the hard work of the Parents Association in organising the fantastic social evening, Fr. Michael Cooney for the wonderful Mass, Sarah Moran for her beautiful singing and all those who attended and donated so generously.
North Tipperary Hospice Movement strives to ensure that no one should have to go through a cancer experience alone.
With Cancer Support Centres in Thurles and Nenagh and a third coming to Roscrea in early 2027 North Tipperary Hospice are deeply grateful to the staff, pupils, and parents Association of Redwood NS for contributing to enable them to keep on providing valuable services throughout North Tipperary.
