About This Cause

We are primarily a Nursing Association providing the members in our parish with nursing procedures if and as needed. We sponsor a fully qualified nurse and chiropodist for 10 hours per week to carry out these procedures and to check on the isolated, elderly and vulnerable in our parish. She also gives injection and provides dressing where necessary. We get a small grant from the HSE and we have to fundraise for the rest of our expenses. Recently we acquired the use of Castletownshend former Garda station and house which we have gradually been painting and decorating and installing toilet facilities and generally revamping as it was in a very poor state having been vacant for several years.
