A massive thanks to the Wexford Sports and Classic Car Club for their very generous donation today, made to both ourselves & the Wexford Womens Refuge - proceeds from their 'Spring Challenge 2019'. Well done to everyone who took part and made it a fantastic success! 😎👌🚘🚘🚘
We wish the very best to everyone receiving their results today... remember theres also more to life than grades 😉. We will have additional resources deployed in the area tonight, to ensure no-one comes to any harm. If you are out celebrating, please act responsibly and keep an eye on your friends. For your safety, make sure your phone is fully charged before you head out and make sure you have organised a lift home beforehand at a pre-agreed meeting point & time. Our Volunteers will be nearby to assist anyone who may find themselves in difficulty for whatever reason. Please be safe, be responsible and stay away from the water 👍🏽. #LeavingCertificate #Resultsnight #Wexford #Savinglives #RespectTheWater #DrinkAware

Today we were absolutely blown away to receive a cheque for a colossal €23,011 from two fantastic inspirational parents - Sean & Michelle. The Jackson Ball held in memory of their 13yr old son Jack, raised a phenomenal €46,022 which was split between ourselves & Pieta House to help continue the fight against suicide. This money will help save many lives and will ensure we can continue to provide our nightly support services to the people of Wexford. We would like to thank from the bottom of our hearts not just Sean & Michelle, but also the whole committee behind the Jackson Ball, who helped pull off one of the most successful fundraisers Wexford has ever seen. We are also eternally grateful to everyone who supported it - attended on the night, bought a raffle ticket, made a donation, donated a spot prize, sponsored a table, made a bid on the night, or provided music to the Guests - the list is endless, but THANK YOU! Due to the huge demand for tickets for this fantastic event, they were sold out in record time - so we are now delighted to say that you will have another chance next year, as plans for the 'Jackson Ball 2020' are already well underway! #ThankYou #Jackson #JacksonBall #Wexford #Teamwork #CommunitiesUnited #SavingLives #PietaHouse #Donation #ClaytonWhitesHotel #RachelGrace #DivineInvention #ExtremeRythm
