THE local O2 store on Belmore Street, Enniskillen has donated two electronic Samsung tablets to Horizon West Children’s Hospice in Killadeas.
The donation of the tablets marks the beginning of a variety of fundraising activities by the O2 store.
Frances Gilmore, Care Team Manager for Horizon West Children’s Hospice said: “We are delighted to have received this kind donation from the O2 store in Enniskillen.
“The tablets will be put to great use by the local children, with life limiting conditions, who use hospice services.
“The hospice is being opened on a phased basis and we are currently focusing on day care with a view to opening for overnight care in the coming months.
“At the minute, Saturday day care is being delivered twice a month and extended after school care will begin twice weekly in the near future.
“In addition there is a planned programme of activities to support families including complimentary therapies, drop in coffee mornings and sibling support.”
Declan Devlin, franchisee of the local O2 store in Enniskillen said: “We are only too happy to donate these tablets to Horizon West.
“Being a local facility, helping local children with life-limiting illnesses, it was an easy decision to support them.
“We look forward to raising funds for the Children’s Hospice in the future.”
The annual hospice walk to raise funds for Horizon West is on Saturday April 12 at 10am at Castle Coole.
