Students raise €950 for HomeLink by holding bake sale
ST GERARD’S Transition Year Group of Young Social Innovators presented a cheque for €950 to HomeLink. This amount was raised recently at a bake sale in their school, which included a range of novel sweet treats.
Principal Tom Geraghty and teacher Evelyn Ni Fheinneadha said that their students were delighted to be supporting HomeLink’s local support services.
HomeLink’s Betty Murphy, a former teacher at the school and co-founder of HomeLink attended the cheque presentation. She thanked the YSI ( Young Social Innovators) group for their dedication, enthusiasm and hard work.
