The Bantry Bay Lions Club presented another batch of 100 “Cuddly Lions” to the Ambulance Services group in Bantry on March 7.
These Cuddly Lions will be given to children who are transported to hospital in an ambulance to help ease their stress. This is the twelfth year of this programme which has continued due to the very generous sponsorship of €500 by Diarmuid Hurley at Hurley’s Garage in Bantry. Much appreciation must also go to Tanja and Mike Goodall of Stowaway Crafts & Toys who supplied the toy lions at a discount.
