Woodie’s Castlebar celebrate raising over €5,000 for 2023 Woodie’s Heroes Campaign

Woodie’s Castlebar recently celebrated the wrap-up of the ninth annual Woodie’s Heroes campaign.

The store raised a remarkable €5,091 with help from customers, colleagues and suppliers for four children’s charities.

One-hundred per cent of funds raised will be divided equally among ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland and Make-A-Wish Ireland.

Woodie’s Heroes was established in 2015 and has raised over €3 million for Irish children’s charities. This year’s fundraising is expected to see that figure grow closer to €3.5 million.

Customers donated throughout the campaign by adding a donation in-store at the till, online at woodies.ie, or by text.

The team at Woodie’s Castlebar were overjoyed by the generosity and support shown to them during the campaign by their local community and wish to extend a heartfelt 'thank you' to all of those who donated.

After four weeks of fundraising, it was a proud moment for the colleagues in-store when they presented the cheque for €5,091.

The money raised will make a meaningful difference to the children and families who are supported by these four amazing charities – ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland, and Make-A-Wish Ireland.
