The team at Woodie’s Nenagh would like to extend a big ‘thank you’ to their customers, colleagues and suppliers who helped them raise €10,290 during the seventh annual Woodie’s Heroes campaign this summer. A cheque was presented by the store to one of the two teams of Woodie’s cyclists, including Woodie’s CEO Declan Ronayne who each set out on a gruelling 1,000km cycle around Ireland last week to collect the funds raised by Woodie’s stores nationwide in aid of four Irish charities: ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland and Barnardos.

Woodie’s DIY, Home and Garden have raised over €2.5 million for charity over the last seven years. Donations for the 2021 Heroes campaign will continue to roll in up to the end of September. With your help, Woodie’s have surpassed their fundraising target of €500,000 and make a difference to those most in need.

Everyone at Woodie’s Nenagh is thrilled by the generosity and support that has been shown towards them throughout the campaign.
