Trócaire urges Longford supporters to return Lent donations as Covid-19 hampers major fundraiser
The organisation is concerned about the impact of Covid-19 on Ireland s largest fundraiser
Reporter: );
Trócaire is calling on supporters in Longford to return donations from their Trócaire boxes.
The organisation is fearful that a decline in donations to its Lenten Appeal would put many of its life-saving programmes at risk.
The charity’s biggest fundraising campaign, which finishes this weekend (Easter Sunday), has been greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Many supporters were unable to access their Trócaire boxes through the usual channels due to ongoing restrictions.
