Give up your old scrap to help Laois Africa volunteers
Anyone with scrap metal or other unwanted items is being asked to send it Clonaslee way this August, for a great charity cause.
A Laois volunteer group from the town is heading out soon to help build a school for a poverty torn community in a South African township.
John Joe Heaney, Ray and Elaine Delaney and Pat Carroll must each raise thousands of euros to pay for materials to help build the school with the Mellon Educate Building Blitz 2023.
They will hold a fundraising Scrap Saturday collection day in Clonaslee Community Centre.
A huge range of unwanted items will be welcomed on the day.
That includes waste electrical equipment and all scrap metal; washing machines, TVs, toasters, kettles, cables, mobile phones, remote controls, batteries including farm fence batteries. All clean clothes, shoes, soft toys, belts & handbags, household textiles, books.
It takes place on Saturday August 12, 10am to 4pm in the Clonaslee Community Centre.
