We are asking everyone to take two minutes out of their day to support a fantastic local cause and cast a vote for St. Christopher’s Special School in the AIB Community Fund competition.

As many of you know, St. Christopher’s provides incredible support, care, education and opportunities for children with special needs and their families throughout our community. The work they do every day is truly invaluable.

We here in Longford Variety Group are extremely proud to support St. Christopher’s Special School each year as one of the main beneficiaries of our annual show, so we see first-hand the positive impact this school has on so many children and families.

This funding could make a huge difference, helping the school continue to provide vital services and supports for current and future students. Every vote counts and it only takes a couple of minutes to register and vote.

Longford people are always great at getting behind worthy causes, so let’s rally together and help St. Christopher’s secure a share of this funding.

Please vote and share with your family and friends.

❤️ Let’s get behind St. Christopher’s Special School and show what Longford can do! ❤️

❤️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ A Heartfelt Thank You from Longford Variety Group ❤️
As our 100K in May challenge comes to an end, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every person who supported us along the way.
To everyone who walked, ran, cycled, swam, encouraged, shared our posts, cheered us on, or made a donation — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
What started as a fundraising challenge became so much more. It brought people together, created countless memories, inspired us through sunshine and showers, and once again showed us the incredible community spirit that exists throughout Longford.
The support we received from the people of Longford and beyond has been truly overwhelming. Your generosity will help Longford Variety Group continue our work supporting local schools, charities, and community projects, something we have proudly done for over 30 years.
While the 100K in May is officially over, our donation link will remain open until 27th June for anyone who would still like to contribute.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a real difference.
From all of us in Longford Variety Group, thank you for believing in what we do and for continuing to support our motto:
"By the Community, For the Community."
❤️ Thank you, Longford. We couldn't do it without you. ❤️
