THE members of the Enniskillen Round Table group have successfully completed their lockdown fundraiser initiative.

The group were unable to raise money in a conventional means due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Instead, members donated money that would have usually been spent on outgoing monthly membership.

Recognising that this money was being saved during the pandemic, they donated the money into a fund for the Aisling Centre.

The centre was always planned to be the charity of choice for the group, as Richard Kennedy, Chairman, Enniskillen Round Table Group explained.

“The Aisling Centre was always going to be our chosen charity for this year, but fundraising options during lockdown are very limited, which is ironic because charities like the centre now more than ever need our support.”

Established in 1990, the Aisling Centre is dedicated to the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing, with the impact of the pandemic, lockdown and related matters seeing extra demand for its services.

Offering a free, professional and confidential counselling service, the money raised will be used to help the Aisling Centre provide telephone and e-counselling services.

The local Round Table group has been active in the community in Enniskillen for more than 70 years, and currently has 18 local members.

They are part of the wider Round Table Great Britain and Ireland association, where members raise money for local charities and causes.

Round Table is a non-political, non-sectarian association of young men between the age of 18 and 45, embracing representatives of every profession and trade.
