ALONE, a national organisation supporting older people to age at home, saw a 50% increase in volunteers this Christmas compared to last year, thanks to to joint-initiative between the Killarney Coffee Cup Project and Christmas in Killarney.

The initiative encouraged locals and visitors to donate unused 2GoCups, with the value of each cup going to ALONE.
The campaign proved highly successful, with collection points at the Christmas Markets and Santa's Grotto at Deenagh Lodge.
"Christmas in Killarney committee were proud to support both the coffee cup initiative and ALONE with this project," said Katy Jacobi, Events Manager, Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce.
"Our festival volunteers were supported by Kevin the Minion each weekend at the Christmas markets where shoppers donated their stores of coffee cups from their cars, kitchens and offices to the charity."
Frank Dillon, Head of Fundraising for ALONE, added: "We would like to sincerely thank the great people in Killarney for their clever initiative and generosity in supporting ALONE. Christmas is such an important time for all of us in ALONE with so many people living on their own throughout the area our services will run all over the Christmas season. You can contact ALONE for support of advice on 0818 222 024.”
