Hospital Saturday Fund – Grant Success

Polio Survivors Ireland is delighted to be in receipt of a grant, from the Hospital Saturday Fund Charity. This grant is for our Winter Heating Grant, which helps polio survivors struggling with the high cost of energy bills to keep warm in winter months. We are very fortunate to have such support from grant-makers such as the Hospital Saturday Fund, who help so many charities to provide vital services to their users.

The Winter Heating Grant helps us to free up incomes which are already limited and allows polio survivors the opportunity to live without this extreme worry on top of all the other challenges they face daily. 

Pictured is the Hospital Saturday Fund’s Trustee, Margaret Rogers, with our Cathaoirleach, Macrina Clancy and CEO, Fran Brennan, presenting us with the cheque from HSF Charity. Communications & Development Officer, Emma Clarke Conway is also pictured in the presentation in Capel Building.  

As members might be aware, we receive no funding for the Winter Heating Grant and fundraise for the entire cost of providing the grant to those who need it. We are extremely grateful to HSF Charity for providing us with this sizeable grant, which makes a considerable difference to polio survivors.
