Your loose change could be of great benefit to family carers in Offaly.
Family Carers provide massive levels of care at home for children and adults with special needs, disabilities, mental illnesses, frail older people and family and friends who are terminally ill. Fundraising has been very difficult due to Covid restrictions, and we very much appreciate all contributions and help we can get, a statement from Family Carers Ireland in Tullamore read. Last year many of you collected coins on our behalf, and this money was used to provide little treats for Carers in our area.
