A FUEL drive for the elderly of Ennistymon is being organised by Ennistymon Vocational School for a third year, with locals being urged to give a little warmth this Christmas – by donating turf, coal, timber, briquettes, kindle or firelighters.

Organiser Gabrielle O’Brien, who said she would love to see the idea spreading throughout the county and nationwide, said the group will be delivering to up to 50 homes on December 14. Pay for fuel and they’ll deliver.

People can buy fuel in Fitzpatrick’s Supevalu, Cullinan’s Hardware & Kerry Co Op and the team will collect the fuel and deliver to the elderly in the Ennistymon area.

For those interested in helping out, contact Ennistymon Vocational School at 065 7071375 or email ennistymonfueldrive@gmail.com.

A great initiative indeed!
