CLARE Haven is in the running for a much-needed boost, after being nominated by staff of Permanent TSB in Clare for a share of its community fund.
The fund operates in each of Permanent TSB’s regions across Ireland and aims to provide round €300,000 to six local charities – chosen by members of the public, in a vote that closes on Wednesday, April 7.
Dr Siobhán O’Connor, Manager of Services with Clare Haven urged the public to get behind the scheme by casting their votes. She also thanked Permanent TSB in Clare for its support.
“The staff and customers in Permanent TSB O’Connell Street, Ennis have always been very generous to us,” she said. “We are very grateful that we were nominated to be considered for this fund. Domestic Abuse has long been a scourge that has mired our community here in Clare. The Covid 19 experience in 2020 has exacerbated it with demand for Clare Haven’s services increasing by over 20% on the previous year. It is only through the kindness ands support of our funders and donors that we can continue to address the situation.”
Votes must be case online and the two charities that receive the most votes in each region will become Permanent TSB’s Community Fund Partners for the fundraising year. Voting closes on Wednesday, April 7, at 6pm. The voting page can be accessed here.
