Methodist Church host fête for ADAPT
The Methodist Church in Killarney welcomed the local community to its summer fête last Friday and Saturday, raising much-needed funds for both the church and ADAPT Kerry Women’s Refuge in Tralee.
The event, held at the church on Countess Road, featured a variety of stalls selling household items, plants, home baking and good-as-new clothing, while refreshments were also served throughout the two-day fundraiser.
The funds raised by the event will go to support the ongoing work of the church and to ADAPT Kerry, which provides critical, trauma-informed support for women and children escaping domestic abuse and coercive control.
