Cashel Comhaltas fundraiser for Ukrainians refugees fleeing war

A team of six young musicians from Cashel Comhaltas have organised a day of music, song and dance for next Saturday, June 18, from 10am to 6pm on the Plaza in Cashel town centre.

These young people will also be performing on stage as will several other young artists from Cashel Comhaltas.

There will also be several local artists who have kindly volunteered their support.

All monies raised will be given to the Irish Emergency Alliance/Ukraine Appeal. They will channel this money to where it is needed: for food, shelter, blankets, medical supplies, emotional support and education for displaced children.

Donations can be made online at www.idonate.ie/cashel comhaltasyouthproject. Donations are available on this page until July 19 next. Organisers have set a fundraising target of €6,000.

A programme of performances will be available on the our idonate page.

But we want to do even more for people whose lives have been devastated by emergencies — save even more lives and support even more people to rebuild their homes, schools, communities and livelihoods.
