Parents launch fundraiser for Carlow primary school to create safe space for students

A GoFundMe has been launched to help raise much needed funds for Borris National School to create a new sensory room for students.

Chairperson of the Borris National School Parents’ Association, Nicola O’Toole, created the fundraiser in the hopes of raising money for a new sensory room which would benefit current and future students at the school.

The GoFundMe's target is €1,600 and nearly half of that goal had been achieved within just one day of the fundraiser being established.
