This section is regularly updated and contains a list of upcoming and recent events to rasie funds for St Joseph & The Helpers Charity. If you are currently involved in fundraising please send us a photograph and a description of the event and we will endeavour to include you on the site as we welcome all your efforts on our behalf.

Heartfelt Thanks!
On behalf of my fellow Directors
I wish extend our heartfelt thanks to all our members, helpers and donors in Ireland, UK and USA who have raised over €1,600,000 for our building and humanitarian projects since our charity was formed. 100% of your donations go directly to the projects as all administration costs are paid by the directors of the charity.

Through your magnificent support
our projects are now making a huge difference to the lives of others in a country that has close to 60% unemployment. We can't thank you enough for your wonderful support.

On 22nd April 2007 Maurice Bond ran the London Marathon. Through your kind sponsorship and Maurice's efforts, over £7,000 was raised for the Grandparents Home which enabled us to complete the project. 28 elderly people now live at the Home in safety and comfort, surrounded by a loving and caring staff. Some of the residents had lived in a nearby refugee camp where 114 families still live too frightened, even now, to return home.

Can you help us with our work by doing the Marathon for us in April 2009? For more information contact Pat Henry at 00441442391087 or Email Pat
