Tickets still available for bespoke rocking horse Kildare charity raffle

Santa Reindeer hospital in Kildare town has been offered a most beautiful gift to raffle in aid of the school completion programme.

This gift is a bespoke wooden rocking horse, built in the workshops of Midlands Prison Service.

It is an amazing piece of work that would easily command a price in excess of €2,500.

It could be a future family heirloom, or a special toy for any budding Irish jockeys.

All proceeds from the raffle will go to school completion programs. This is a great prize for a good cause.

The committee said; "Christmas is often a time that opens hearts and minds to difficult issues such as restorative justice, the importance of education in breaking cycles of poverty and deprivation which are rooted in many of the backgrounds of those that reside in prison services.”

Raffle tickets can be bought on line at www.irishrockinghorse.com

Tickets are €10 and the draw will take place at the end of January.
