Big-hearted Argos staff help out at Barretstown to prepare for Autumn camps
Argos colleagues from across Ireland descended upon Co. Kildare yesterday to volunteer their services and time at Barretstown, in advance of the Autumn camps starting there next week.
Barretstown offers free, specially designed camps and programmes for children and their families living with a serious illness – supported behind the scenes by 24 hour on site medical and nursing care.
Argos colleagues spent the day preparing the site for the kid’s arrival with duties including gardening, cleaning cottages and painting doors in the courtyard.
Barretstown is supported by donations and the fundraising efforts of corporate supporters, such as retailer Argos, and the team there were delighted to receive a €2,000 donation from all the Argos colleagues who attended yesterday.
