The Adare Manor International Womens Day event is a key fundraiser for the Children’s Grief Centre, the Mid-West based charity founded in 2009 by Sr. Helen Culhane to support children and young people aged 4 to 18 who have been affected by loss through bereavement, separation or divorce.
Launching the Adare Manor International Womens Day fundraiser, Olive Foley, organiser and ambassador for the Children’s Grief Centre said that the event will be a wonderful opportunity to hear from top female role models while at the same time much-needed funds for a brilliant organisation.
“The work that Sr. Helen and all at the Children’s Grief Centre does is incredible and we as a family are indebted to her for the support, we got following my husband Anthony’s passing. She is an inspirational woman who has done so much for so many and this fundraiser gives an opportunity to support her great work while at the same time hear from other inspirational women on International Women’s Day.”
“Sadly, there are so many children out there who need the type of service the Children’s Grief Centre delivers so this fundraiser is an opportunity for us to thank Sr. Helen and her team in the best possible way by helping to ensure they have the funds to continue doing this great work,” she added.
The Children’s Grief Centre provides a space and place for children to explore their experiences of loss. It provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where grieving children and teenagers can express what they feel and learn that they are not alone.
In addition, the Centre strives to raise awareness in the community about grieving as an important part of life that is essential to an individual’s on-going growth and development. Since its establishment, the centre has supported over 1,500 children and their families. All services are offered free of charge to children and young people and are available for as long as they need them.
