WHILE the outbreak of Covd-19 has put ice on many festive traditions this year, it has failed to stop members of the Carrosyl Community Association in
Lisnaskea from offering a helping hand to those who need it most this Christmas.
The community group, which is based right in the heart of Carrowshee Park and Sylvan Hill, called on fellow residents and the wider Lisnaskea community to take part in their foodbank appeal, in support of local families.
“2020 has been a hard year in many ways for lots of people,” explained Carrosyl youth worker, Jackie Mullan.
Amazon Tilbury competition winner makes £5,000 festive donation to special needs trust
COMPETITION WINNER MAKES £5,000 FESTIVE DONATION TO LOCAL EDUCATION TRUST
A TEAM member from Amazon in Tilbury has made a £5,000 donation to a Special Educational Needs (SEN) trust in Essex after winning a national competition to design a festive postcard.
Erzsebet Kovacs, who works as an associate at Amazon in Tilbury, designed the winning postcard in a competition run across Amazon’s UK sites. The competition is part of a longstanding partnership with the charity Magic Breakfast.
Erzsebet created her entry as an acrylic painting on canvas after developing a new love for art during lockdown. Erzsebet started painting when she was furloughed from her previous job as a printing finisher for four months due to COVID-19. She was searching for a creative activity to help pass the time and found painting helped her feel positive.
