Farrell’s Christmas Clothing Day 2020

22.12.2020

Helping others

To top off a busy year supporting a number of local and national charities, this Christmas Farrell is supporting two fantastic organisations – the Peter McVerry Trust and MS Ireland, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland.  Today (Tuesday, 22nd December) is Christmas Clothing Day both in the office and virtually!

Our staff got to wear a Christmas clothing item of choice in return for Farrell donating €10 per person to MS Ireland.  Given the great efforts made by all on the day, the Farrell team is delighted to make a total charity contribution of €1500.
