Newry woman, Lesa Rooney recently turned the fabulous age of 50.

Unfortunately, due to the current pandemic, Lesa was unable to celebrate how she would have liked.
Instead, Lesa decided to host a birthday fundraiser to raise funds for PIPS Hope and Support.

Pictured on May 12th, Lesa presented fundraising coordinator Padraig with the proceeds totaling a fantastic £870.00

The monies was raised by family and friends donating to Lesa's JustGiving page and leaving a birthday wish for Lesa. 

Lesa would like to thank every one who donated to her initiative and for their kind words.

PIPS Hope and Support wish to thank Lesa for this selfless act and helping to sustain the fundamental services we deliver.  Covid-19 has caused significant decline in donations and we are grateful for Lesa's kindness to help us recover.  PIPS Hope and Support also wishes to thank each and everyone who contributed to Lesa's initiative.  It is greatly appreciated by PIPS Hope and Support and will make a difference to the lives of families and individuals who are mentally or emotionally distressed and in need of meaningful support.
