Lend A Hand: Four Great Irish Causes To Get Behind This Week

Every week in the Her.ie offices we are inundated with requests from people asking us to help them promote their charity events. While every cause is worthwhile, unfortunately we can’t get around to all of them and so for that reason, we have decided to put together some of these events from around the country. Every week, we will feature five events you should get behind or get involved with over the next few months. There are tonnes of amazing organisations in this country, let’s help them out. Pick Up Your Needles And Knit For LauraLynn Need something to do this weekend? Why not help out a fantastic cause and help the LauraLynn crew knit a tree cozy for their family fun day? The children’s charity are asking for members of the public to submit knitted squares to decorate one of the LauraLynn house trees. Want more information on how you can get involved? Contact the team here!
