Clare Haven women’s refuge opened its doors in Ennis in 2002 and over the years has provided a place of safety and a range of sup- ports to hundreds of women and children who were made homeless due to domestic violence.
Clare Haven Services refuge has been shortlisted as one of the local deserving children’s projects in con- tention for the €10,000 prize from AIB Ennis through the Better Ire- land Programme.
The branch will award €10,000 to the local project that tops the poll in a public text vote which has contin- ued over a four-week period from May 6 to June 6.
Anyone who would like to regis- ter their support for the charity can simply text ENNIS followed by B to 53099 by Friday, June 6.
The award is part of AIB’s Better Ireland Programme which supports children with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities and also chil- dren affected by drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness or a lack of ac-
cess to mainstream education due to poverty.
Pastor Bright Martey who started the GREM in March 2005 said “We want to do a concert and we want to do it right. I have always said that if I was going to put on a concert then I would do it right. I am very busy at the moment; we have bands com- ing over from Holland. Hopefully we will get a good crowd in Cois na hAbhna.”
