They are reliant on the support of the community and many fundraising events are held throughout the year by individuals, community groups and businesses.
LIVING LINKS
TIPPERARY
The first Living Links group was set up in Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary in May 2002, when a small group of local people got together in direct response to a suicide in the community. The event was tragic and cataclysmic for the people and there was a huge sense of inadequacy on the ground regarding the provision of appropriate community support and a consequent sense of failure as a community. Among others, Living Links objectives are: to provide support and outreach to those bereaved by suicide, to increase awareness and understanding of suicide and its effects on individuals, families and communities, to liaise and exchange information with similar support groups nationally and internationally and to support and encourage relevant research.
REHAB GROUP
Proceeds from The Lucky Lottery scratchcards are for Rehab's charitable purposes. These purposes include the provision of health & social care, training & education, rehabilitation, employment and commercial services to people with disabilities and those who are socially disadvantaged. Players are bound by the lottery rules which are determined by ELMCo Ltd. Carried out under licenses granted by Ballaghaderreen District Court, Co. Roscommon. Distribution of prizes will occur weekly in accordance with statutory requirements.
