St. Gabriel’s is always looking for individuals to help organise our events to raise funds and awareness, volunteers to run existing events or individuals to develope new and creative fundraising ideas.

St. Gabriel’s organises a number of fundraising events and activities throughout the year that you can get involved with for example helping fundraise for the school at the upcoming Swim for a Mile Challenge.

The funds raised by the swimmers for the event will help with the purchase of twenty specialist physiotherapy mats at a cost of over €3,000. These are essential pieces of equipment to allow children with disabilities to move safely reducing the risk of injury during physiotherapy sessions to maintain mobility.

If you are interested in taking part in this event please contact Kate on [email protected].
