A former aid worker from Mountmellick who has helped raise thousands of euro for Concern Worldwide through local church gate and street collections has been honoured by the Irish humanitarian organisation.
Alice Culliton (73) was presented with the individual fundraiser award at Concern’s annual volunteer awards, which were hosted virtually on Saturday, December 5.
“I collected the award on behalf of the wonderful team of volunteers in Mountmellick, Portlaoise and beyond who work so hard to raise funds to help some of the world’s poorest people,” Alice said.
