STAFF of Shannon Heritage have presented a cheque for €1,000 and children’s toys to The Children’s Ark Paediatric unit at University Hospital Limerick (UHL).

Workers at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and Craggaunowen held a series of fundraising initiatives during December to support the Mid-West facility.

Toys were donated by staff and visitors to the County Clare visitor attractions throughout the month.

Shannon Heritage has made numerous charity donations in recent years to the purpose-built paediatric unit, which provides care for children in the Sunshine and Rainbow wards, a high-dependency unit, a cystic fibrosis unit and a Caterpillar day ward.
