In Memory of Debbie Metrustry
It was with great sorrow that the staff at Aoibhneas learned of the sudden death of Debbie Metrustry.
Debbie had spent a number of years supporting the residents and staff of Aoibhneas Women and Children’s Refuge in her position as the Manager.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank all of Debbie’s family and friends who made a contribution to our service as an expression of their sympathy following her death. Your generosity was astounding, and we are truly grateful.
Your donation will be used directly to benefit the women and children who, unfortunately, require our service.
BAG PACKING
On 12th, 13th and 14th of August, Aoibhneas will be Bag Packing at Dunnes Stores, Pavilions Shopping Centre, Swords. We are calling on local groups to offer support on any of the above dates. Bag Packing is a great way to raise funds for our Refuge. So come along and have your shopping packed by us and we promise we won't break your eggs.
Please contact, Julie or Sandra on 01 8670805.
