We reached out to schools and young people right across Ireland and New York to take part in our 'St Patrick's Art Showcase'. We had over 200 amazing submissions from Dublin, Limerick, Fermanagh, Tyrone and New York! We are sending some of these drawings to each of our Seniors in our Irish heritage Care Boxes, We also designed a mosaic around our logo with all the entries, check it out and maybe find your own masterpiece.
