All proceeds raised from donations and a raffle on the night will go to the Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team, who provide a home-based palliative nursing care service to patients in the counties of Carlow and Kilkenny.

This service is provided to patients on a dedicated 24/7 basis, allowing cancer patients to remain at home for as long as possible.

While the Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team do receive some financial support from the Health Service Executive, the Homecare Team is very much dependent on a voluntary contributions to ensure that it can provide the best possible standard of care to its clients in the Carlow and Kilkenny area.

All donations are welcome on the night. If you cannot make it to the event, you can donate through the Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team’s website.
