Photography Competition Supported by Donegal Creameries
Love to snap Donegal landscapes? Enter the Adrian Mitchell Society Photographic Amateur Competition and not only could your scene appear on their Christmas cards but you would be helping to raise money for a very worthy cause!
The work of the Adrian Mitchell Society has touched a chord in people not only in Donegal, where it is based, but in Ireland generally and indeed further afield. The focus is on helping young people to understand the hospice movement and to take an active interest in its work, perhaps sowing some seeds for their future years.
Speaking on behalf of the Adrian Mitchell Society, Mary Kavanagh Chandler says “For the Adrian Mitchell Society it’s about caring. We try to encourage young people to have compassion and understanding for others, particularly those who suffer bereavement or become ill themselves”.
The Society, a sub-committee of the Donegal Hospice, helps the hospice in practical ways through fund-raising and other initiatives. The Adrian Mitchell Society was formed at a meeting at Scoil Colmcille in Letterkenny, the school Adrian attended, on June 21st, 2001.
Adrian Mitchell was a little child from Letterkenny who showed great courage in his battle against his fatal illness. He helped to inspire the development of the hospice movement in Donegal.
Monies raised from the sale of the Christmas cards are given to benefit those being cared for and to improve the facilities for the patients, which is adhered by AMS.
The competition is open to school children and the closing date is April 17th. See adrianmitchellsociety.com for details. The Adrian Mitchell Society Photographic Amateur Competition is supported by Donegal Creameries.
Speaking on behalf of Donegal Creameries, Commercial Marketing Manager, Sheila
Gilroy Collins commented “Donegal Creameries are delighted to be able to continue
to support The Adrian Mitchell Society and its work. The photographic competition
has proven to be very popular, promoting the best of the County and supporting
the local community, both objectives which are naturally aligned to Donegal Creameries.
We wish everyone participating the very best of luck with their entry”.
