Recovery Haven; Kerry Parents and Friends Association and the Make A Wish Foundation received donations of €500 each.
Recovery Haven
Recovery Haven is a drop-in support centre situated in Haig’s Terrace, Tralee.
It was established by health care workers and those with personal cancer experience.
Its aim is to provide a tranquil place where people can safely access support and information on living with and beyond cancer.
A confidential listening service, no appointment needed, is part of the service provided and you can bring a friend if you wish.
Complementary therapy and counselling services are available by appointment and visitors can participate in a variety of classes and groups at the centre. For more information on Recovery Haven please click on the link here: https://www.recoveryhavenkerry.com

Kerry Parents and Friends Association
Since its formation in 1973 the Kerry Parents and Friends Association has always had a strong bond with Castleisland. Now, the association has a thriving, community based and supported centre, Glebe Lodge.
The aim of the association from the outset was to establish a network of support for people with an intellectual disability and their families.
The association is supported in Castleisland each year through the annual indoor market which was also founded in 1973 and in more recent years by the Humphrey Murphy Memorial 5K Road Race.
