Mallow, is it me you're looking for?

A charity speed dating night will take place in Mallow this month to raise money to provide “home from home” accommodation for the relatives of sick loved ones.

The night, which is for ages 25-40, will take place at 9pm on 30 January at the Hibernian Hotel in Mallow.

All funds raised through the event will go to Brú Columbanus who provide free accommodation for the relatives of seriously ill patients in Cork, in particular to relatives of sick children.

To sign up for the speed dating night, participants must email charityspeeddating1@gmail.com with their full name. They will then be sent a donation link which will facilitate a €15 donation straight to Brú Columbanus.

Participants will be emailed 24 hours before the event with more information.

Brú Columbanus is an independent charity completely reliant on donations and fundraising initiatives to cover the running costs of the house.
