Aware Collections Underway


The first charitable component of the TY Programme begins in earnest today with our long standing involvement with the annual collection for Aware. Aware is Ireland's leading N.G.O. concerned with helping those who suffer from depression and is committed to breaking the stigma that too often surrounds it. 

TY members make sure you're aware (unintended pun) of when and where you're collecting and that you're clear on the arrangements for travel to and from your allotted stomping ground. 

Our pupils will be collecting over today and tomorrow in both Grafton St. in the city centre and more locally in Knocklyon shopping centre. So if you see some young serpentish doves shaking a collection box give generously - it would help a lot. 

TY Columbans have raised thousands of € every year for over a decade and even though we are living in ever straitened times we're sure this year will be no exception.

Here's a link to the Aware homepage.
