ICYMI: Kilkenny community raise vital funds to restore hall
Can you help members of the Ballyragget community in their quest?
The community in Ballyragget have set up a Go Fund Me Page in a bid to improve facilities at the Canon Malone Hall so 'it can continue to serve the community for generations to come.'
From card games of 25s to choir practices, children’s parties, active retirement meetups, cake sales, and even funeral receptions, it has been a place where people of all ages gather, celebrate, and support one another.
"Over the years, the hall has seen countless memories made, but now it needs some care and attention. The space is in urgent need of improvements such as painting, new floors, and general upkeep to ensure it can continue to serve the community for generations to come," the Go Fund Me Page read.
"While small fundraisers have helped along the way, we are now reaching further afield for support. Every contribution, big or small, will make a real difference in giving this much-loved hall the facelift it deserves.
"By donating, you’re not just helping to fix a building, you’re helping to preserve the heart of Ballyragget, a space where our community comes together in good times and in difficult ones," the post added.
