Redeemer Boys' School Playground Resurfacing Fund

5 years ago Redeemer Boys' School, Dundalk, raised money to build a playground for our autism classes, known locally as "The Orchard".  This playground has been a much used and much loved resource for all classes in the school. Over the last few years, however, wear and tear plus the Irish weather has had a detrimental impact on the surface of the playground turning it into a mudbath that will render the playground impractical for use in the not too distant future.

Our aim is to raise enough funds to put in a more permanent, safe surface, similar to that of other public playgrounds. To this end, we ran an initial fundraiser back in June and staff, parents and friends of the school took part in the Hell and Back challenge. This was a very successful event and we raised almost €5,000! 

In order to add to this amount, one of our amazing parents, Peter McGuinness, is kindly organising a Charity Darts Exhibition in the Northend Bar on Sunday 20th November. We are very grateful for this wonderful gesture and are absolutely delighted that our school playground will benefit from this fundraiser!!

If you are in a position to make a donation, no matter how big or small, then please do.

This playground is used every day by our Orchard and Infant pupils. Our senior classes also have weekly timeslots for the playground and it would be an absolute shame for it to be sitting unused due to a surfacing issue.

Thank you so much.
