On yer horse: Kildare raffle tickets available for bespoke handmade rocking horse in aid of school completion programme
Made by prisoners in Portlaoise prison
Santa Reindeer hospital in Kildare town has been offered a most beautiful Christmas gift to raffle in aid of the school completion programme.
This gift is a bespoke wooden rocking horse, built in the workshops of Midlands Prison Service. It is an amazing piece of work that would easily command a price in excess of €2,500. It could be a future family heirloom, or a special toy for any budding Irish jockeys.
All proceeds from raffle will go to school completion programs.
This is a great prize for a good cause.
The committee said; "Christmas is often a time that opens hearts and minds to difficult issues such as restorative justice, the importance of education in breaking cycles of poverty and deprivation which are rooted in many of the backgrounds of those that reside in prison services."
Raffle tickets can be bought on line at
