Social Services link up with local schools

SLIGO Social Service Council have partnered with local schools to present an exciting fashion event to raise vital funds to deliver our many services.

Sligo Social Services provides many valuable services, including: Meals on Wheels, Homeless Services, Childcare and Refugee Re-settlement, Community Employment Schemes and various other services and projects in our local Sligo Community

Transition Year/5 th Students from Mercy College, Ursuline College and Jesus & Mary College in Enniscrone will create a unique clothing collection using only upcycled clothes that have been donated to Sligo Social Services.

The project will culminate in an Up - cycle Fashion Show on Thursday April 19 th at the Clayton Hotel. Students will have the opportunity to showcase their finished work at this exclusive fashion event. Local businesses will also be involved in selecting the prize winners as the judging panel.

In addition to raising funds for the vital work of Sligo Social Service the event will be an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of the benefits to our environment of recycling and upcycling. Showcasing the creative talents of students in the local community and engaging them in active citizenship in the process. This is an event not to be missed.

Tickets are available from the Thrift Shop on Harmony Hill or from reception on Charles St.
