Disasters hit our world without any warning such as the tsunami in 2004 and famines in Niger and Sudan in 2005. There are always areas requiring international assistance and Kinsale Red Cross strives to assist in whatever way we can. In 2005 alone, Kinsale Red Cross raised in excess of €140,000, showing the significant generousity of our community to international victims. 

We organise collection days, drop in centres for donations, walks and runs including members partaking in Dublin City Marathon and Cork City Marathon under the group leadership of James O'Mahony (picture below shows the group who ran in the Dublin City Marathon 2006)

Every penny that is given to the Red Cross goes to the cause it is collected for with no contribution being taken for administration.

We are extremely proud of our dedicated team in Kinsale Red Cross and invite anyone who is interested in becoming part of our fundraising team, be it collecting or organising an event, to contact us.
