Women's Mini Marathon
Women's Mini Marathon
The Women's Mini Martahon 2009 was a great success, we had 55 women take part on our behalf. It was wonderful to see everyone at our tent at the new Charity Village, it gave us the opportunity to Meet Greet and Treat all the Aoibhneas participants. So far we have raised almost 5000 euro.
Why not take part in the mini marathon 2010 for a fun day out and for a good cause. To join our mini marathon team please contact either Julie or Sandra at
01-8670805 or email juliem@aoibhneas.org for more information.
So come on girls, get motivated, gather your mothers, sisters, friends,
workmates ......... even your granny might join in the fun in 2010 by walking, jogging or running in the marathon with us!!

Annual Christmas Party
Our annual Christmas Party is an extraordinary event, full of joy, excitement and celebration. We also have a very special guest on the day 'Santa', who the children get an opportunity to meet in his grotto.
The majority of the women and children that use our service throughout the year come to our annual Christmas Party. This is where Aoibhneas endeavours to introduce the magic of Christmas.
We would like to take this oportunity to acknowledge and thank everyone for their kind and heart warming generosity which you showed over the Christmas period. Your contribution has helped to make life a little easier for the families who reside here with us and that gift of sharing whatever you have, no matter how big or small, is immeasurable.
THANK YOU!
