The Wexford General Hospital children s Christmas party couldn t go ahead this year due to Covid, but St. John s Volunteers stepped in to save the day by organising a drive-through Santa grotto.
Coronavirus restrictions put paid to the party in the Ferrycarrig Hotel, which is organised annually by St. Gabriel s Paediatric Ward but the GAA Club ensured that children who have been patients in the hospital during 2020, were able to enjoy some festive cheer.
Paediatric diabetic nurse, Deirdre Bowers asked the club for help after coming into contact with committee members last summer when the Vols raised more than €9,000 for the children s diabetic unit with a 100-hour relay.
