Jollylands 2011 - Sept 10th 2.30pm - 9pm
Jollylands is a family friendly mini festival run every year for charity on our farm (Jolllylands) in Kilternan D18. We're sure the electric picnic got the idea from us! ;-) We have run Jollylands and other charity events in Jollylands with your help have raised over €75,000 for various charities including the Niall Mellon Township Trust, The Cottage Home, The sunshine home and Bothar.
This year’s Charity
This year we are running Jollylands in aid of a fantastic charity.... Haven. Haven is an Irish non governmental, non political, non religious organisation working to build sustainable communities, through the provision of housing, and emergency relief and by implementing community development programmes in Haiti. Haiti has had a really tough time of it lately suffering a huge earthquake and hurrican in the same year.
Haven was founded in late 2008 by Leslie Buckley and his wife Carmel. Leslie's business interests brought him to Haiti for the first time in 2004. Appalled by the conditions in which the people of Haiti were and are living in, he set up Haven. For more information on Haven and how to volunteer for Haven's projects visit their website http://www.havenpartnership.com/
