Inish Theatre Group brings some Christmas cheer, with donation to Buncrana SVP

Members of the Inish Theatre Group have generously donated food items to the Buncrana branch of the St Vincent de Paul, in a bid to help others who are struggling this Christmas.

The items, which were gathered up following a charity food collection, were recently presented by children from Inish Theatre to Mickey Bradley, of SVP, Buncrana.

Meanwhile, Buncrana County Councillor Fionan Bradley is urging everyone who requires assistance this Christmas to come forward without delay.

“We all have pride, and it is often pride that prevents people from accessing life-changing assistance,” he says.

“We would find maybe at the minute that people are more hesitant than normal to come forward and to be seen to be getting help from the likes of SVP, because the perception is out there that the country is doing well and therefore so should everybody.”

However, Cllr Bradley’s advice is simple – don’t suffer in silence at Christmas, or any other time.

“Don’t go hungry or cold. There is help available – avail of it. SVP can only help when people present themselves to us.”
