Warrenpoint Harbour Authority (Warrenpoint Port) announced this week that its annual Community Fund raised £30,000, which has been distributed to 70+ different local organisations.
This brings to a total of £90,762 donated to local causes over the last four years of the Fund.
This year had the highest number of requests to date with an average donation of £500. Recipients from Kilkeel to the far side of Newry included charities such as Head Injury Support, Mourne Stimulus, Women’s Aid Armagh Down and Newry & Mourne MS Therapy Centre. The fund supported seven local Men’s Sheds, Women’s groups including Warrenpoint Women’s Group and the Hiking Hens. Several Counselling organisations, Green Spaces, and Warrenpoint Art Group were supported while schools, playgroups, sports clubs, youth clubs and groups such as the Point Camera Club also benefitted.
David Holmes, CEO Warrenpoint Port said, “We are grateful for the generosity of our donors which included CLdN RoRo, tenants at the Port, agents, stakeholders, and team members. With the Port rounding up the donation to £30,000 we have been able to support so many organisations that have limited access to funding.”
A full list of recipient organisations is available on Warrenpoint Port’s website. The fund opened in November 2023 and organisations were advised just before Christmas if they were successful.
