A Heartfelt Thank You to DJ Will Softly for an Incredible Fundraiser! <\/strong><\/p>\n

We are absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful to DJ Will Softly for hosting an unforgettable fundraiser DJ night at The Half Barrel Bar on Sunday, March 16th! The night was filled with fantastic music, great energy, and an incredible sense of community spirit. Thanks to Will\u2019s talent and the amazing crowd who turned up to support, we raised an astounding \u20ac698 for our Polytunnel Repair Appeal at Irish Seed Savers!<\/p>\n

Supporting Our Mission After Storm Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every euro raised will go directly towards repairing our two storm-damaged polytunnels, which were hit hard by Storm \u00c9owyn. These vital structures play a key role in our work, allowing us to protect and propagate Ireland\u2019s heritage food crops. With this incredible support, we can continue our conservation efforts and ensure that these valuable plant varieties are preserved for generations to come.<\/p>\n

A Community Effort Worth Celebrating<\/strong><\/p>\n

A huge thank you to DJ Will Softly for bringing the music and energy, to The Half Barrel team for hosting, and to everyone who came out, danced, donated, and made the night such a fantastic success. This event was a true testament to the power of community and the shared passion for preserving biodiversity.<\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t do this without you\u2014thank you for standing with us!<\/p>\n

Check out the polytunnel repair updates on social media soon!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2819,"featured_media":56297,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nA Heartfelt Thank You to DJ Will Softly for an Incredible Fundraiser!
