Dear Editor,
Castlebar Voluntary Social Services wish to express our sincere thanks to both Castlebar Civil Defence and Mayo Sub-Aqua Unit for their wonderful support to us during the extremely bad period of weather before Christmas.
The access and support of the 4x4 vehicles meant that we were able to gain access to all our vulnerable people even those who were in isolated areas and some as far away as 14 miles from Castlebar town. The staff of those organisations showed exceptional kindness to ourselves and to the more vulnerable people we care for.
We are sure that this was a very worthwhile exercise and has shown an absolute assurance of both statutory and voluntary commitment to anyone who is in need of support within our wider community.
As a voluntary organisation, the fact that we were able to access those services without any fuss, red tape, or other problems encouraged us greatly and we would like to again express our sincere gratitude to all those involved.
Yours faithfully,
Deirdre Waldron,
manager.
