Members of Burncourt Hospice Movement along with representatives from the Rhododendron Walking Festival Committee recently handed over a cheque of €10,000 to Aisling from South Tipperary Hospice Movement. Proceeds were the rest of a Virtual Walk on New Year’s Day, a raffle organised by the Tobin family and a card game in Skeheenarinky. A huge thank you to all who donated and participated.

After 26 years of invaluable service to the local communities, Kathleen from Woodberry Preschool closed her school books for the final time last week. Kathleen’s preschool was like a home from home for countless children over the years.

As a token of appreciation to Kathleen and her sister Mary who assisted her for the past 7 years, the parents of past

and present children gave a special gift. The teachers from Burncourt National School presented bouquets of flowers, past pre-schoolers dropped in and social media saw many messages of gratitude and appreciation.

All wish Kathleen and Mary the very best in this new chapter in their lives and want them to know how grateful all are for the love, care and guidance they have given the children of the area over the years.
