Our charity day tea party was a great success and we raised €707 in aid of CoAction West Cork.

Despite a dire forecast the weather held up nicely and a steady stream of visitors enjoyed the gardens, with a cup of tea plus a fantastic selection of cakes, baked by CoAction volunteers, led by Mary and Tess, who also did a great job serving visitors on the day.

"Your donation was very generous and beyond our expectations. Your contribution is very much appreciated, " says Tess Healy, chairperson of CoAction Bantry.

CoAction West Cork supports childen and adults with intellectual disability and autism. They aim to support people to live their own lives, in the way they choose.
