Kennedy’s Pharmacy donation to local branch of Breathe Easy

PATRICK Kennedy of Kennedy’s Pharmacy, Rasharkin and Dunloy has recently handed over a cheque for £400 to Mrs Nessie Blair, representing Breathe Easy Causeway.

Patrick explained; “We are often asked to countersign Passport and Driving Licence applications and although we do not make a charge for this, we collect any donations offered to give to a chosen charity each year. Most people do offer a small donation and these mount up over the year.

“Until a few years ago, we also gave Christmas presents of biscuits or chocolates to business customers and working contacts. We realised that many workplaces had a mountain of biscuits and sweets in their tea-room at the start of every New Year, at the very time when people were trying to turn over a new leaf with regard to their eating habits.

“Therefore we decided to stop this practice and to also give this money to charity. We then totalled these monies and rounded it up to reach the grand total this year of £400.00. Each year we choose a different charity and this year we have chosen the very worthy charity, Breathe Easy Causeway”.
