valentia island branch committee of kerry parents & friends association
Provides fundraising, enhances community awareness, and arranges transport for the mentally handicapped in the area. Funding goes towards completion of the residential and day service facility for six adults now living in Killarney and 12 day attendees who will be in life-long care at this facility.

"Given that we live in an isolated rural area the most westerly inhabited island off the Irish coast, fundraising is limited. We got a huge lift and encouragement from the first grant Sir Tony O’Reilly matched it with his personal grant, and this set us up both financially and psychologically to keep going.”
