Lots of fundraising taking place for bereaved parents across the country

National charity, Anam Cara, which supports bereaved parents across the country, will hold its midlands in-person meeting at The Mullingar Park Hotel at 7.15pm on Wednesday March 13.

All bereaved parents in the area are most welcome, regardless of the age of their child who has died or circumstances of death. There is no need to register, just turn up on the evening.

Meanwhile, the charity has said it is so thankful to the public for all their fundraising efforts in the first couple of months of 2024. The length and breath of the country is supporting the organisation with events such as sponsored walks, GAA games, corporate incentives, to name but a few.

Grants and Fundraising manager for Anam Cara, Jamie Conway, said: “These fundraisers help raise funds that will be used to provide support for the bereaved parents and families that we work with”.

He continued: “They also spread awareness of Anam Cara which is vital, as it helps more people know that we are there for them should they ever need our support”.

Over 2,500 parents engaged with the services offered by the organisation in 2023. Anam Cara is not an organisation anyone wants to contact but unfortunately, for many, it is their lifeline. All their support services offered are free of charge.
