IQFA Festive FUNdraiser (7 Dec)

A Festive FUNdraiser in support of Irish Quaker Faith in Action will be held on Saturday 7th December at the Rathfarnham Quaker Meeting House from 11am – 2.30pm. All welcome! 

The FUNdraiser is the perfect opportunity to get your Christmas shopping underway, enjoy lunch / refreshments in The Friendly Café and catch up with old and new F/friends.

There will be a great selection of art, crafts, gifts, books, plants, cakes and home produce, Christmas cards, hand-knitted children’s clothes, and a Kids’ Zone with toys, games and art activities. 

To make the FUNdraiser a success, WE NEED YOUR DONATIONS! Donations of home-baked cakes, biscuits, jam, chutney, paintings, crafts, unopened gifts, house plants, and good quality books and toys can be dropped off to Rathfarnham Quaker Meeting House, between 6pm and 9pm on Friday 6th or between 9am and 10am on Saturday 7th.

Please note we will NOT be accepting any CDs, DVDs, magazines, periodicals, clothes or bric-a-brac (e.g. crockery, jewellery, furniture etc).

Irish Quaker Faith in Action Newsletter and Festive FUNdraiser

Irish Quaker Faith in Action (IQFA) is a committee of Ireland Yearly Meeting, which aims to further the charitable concerns of Quakers both at home or abroad. 

Most projects funded are known personally to Irish Quakers or have a long-standing relationship with IQFA. Many are small developmental charities where IQFA can have an immediate and long-lasting effect. IQFA also sometimes contributes funds to specific larger charities that are able to fund larger-scale projects.
