Darragh Doyle is jumping out of a plane for Carelocal
By
Darragh Doyle is raising a few bob for charity and one I never heard of either – Carelocal.
Carelocal is a Dublin based charity that matches volunteers with senior citizens living in their area.
The priority of Carelocal is to identify frail and housebound older people who are experiencing social isolation, as these are one of the most invisible and neglected groups of vulnerable people in our community.
As well as the one-to-one visitation in the person’s home, they provide day trips and social outings, live musical entertainment in Community centres and residential homes and information and advocacy.
Truly, a wonderful and worthy cause and deserves great support.
Here’s the link to do just that —> Support Carelocal via Darragh Doyle’s Skydive.
Best of luck to the man.

Hi AJ,
Thanks a million for posting about this and raising awareness of Carelocal’s work. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned you’d never heard of us. We’ve been around since 1974, but outside of the sector (where our work is highly valued) no-one has heard of us. So we’re extremely grateful to Darragh and all his efforts to let people know who we are and what we do.
And grateful also to you and everyone else who’s getting behind him.
