A very successful double charity fundraiser for Longford Hospice took place in Newtowncashel on Saturday last.

Firstly, a cycle was held in the afternoon for people of all ages, followed by a headshave in The Local later that night.

Several willing volunteers took part and a great day and night was had by all.

This was a very enjoyable occasion while raising vital funds for a great service that helps so many families during very difficult times.

The final total amount raised will be announced when all donations are gathered and counted. Well done to all who took part and who helped organise this large event.
