Charity Motorbike Run – Over €2000 Raised for Sligo Rape Crisis Centre
A Charity Motorbike Run was held on Sunday 2nd February to raise funds for Sligo Rape Crisis Centre (SRCC). The motorbike run, held in conjunction with Sligo & District Motorcycle Club (SDMCC), began at Supermacs Sligo and travelled to Donegal town. Over €2000 was raised as part of the event. All money raised on the day will go directly towards providing Sligo Rape Crisis Centre’s counselling and support services in the local community for individuals affected by sexual violence.
SRCC CEO David Madden said, “I would like to thank the SDMCC, in particular Margaret Darcy, Alan Watters and Declan Feehily, for their help and support. I would also like to thank everyone who turned up on the day, over 130 bikers in Sligo and Donegal, and Supermacs Sligo for their support. It was a great opportunity to raise awareness of sexual violence and the supports available in the community”.
Sligo Rape Crisis Centre provides counselling and support services to survivors of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse in Sligo, Leitrim and Cavan. Our service offers a space where adults and young people affected by sexual violence, whether it happened recently or in the past, can access free and confidential support and counselling in a safe environment. SRCC also provides support to partners, family members and friends of those affected by sexual violence. SRCC’s work also involves education and awareness raising, including the delivery of consent workshops in secondary schools across the region.
Anyone who feels they may benefit from the services provided by Sligo Rape Crisis Centre can contact the centre via the Freephone helpline number 1800 750 780 or via email to info@srcc.ie to access information, support and counselling.
