The Killarney Crafty Ladies were established in 2013 when a group of eight friends (Betty Benson. Peg Coffey, Honor Doyle, Margaret McCarthy, Kate O’Connor,Brid O’Donoghue, Eilish O’Sullivan. Colette Sorensen ) came together to raise funds for Kerry Hospice Foundation and Palliative Care.

The aim was to “rescue” Teddy Bears from Charity shops in Kerry,  Cork, Limerick and as far as Galway.
The bears are then given a complete makeover.

The Craft group meet once a month where they knit, sew, and treat the preloved bears to stylish new outfits ready for sales at Halloween and Christmas.

“The revamped Teddy Bears make the ideal birthday, christening or Christmas gift, ranging in price from €5 to €20. They will be for sale at Killarney Outlet Centre on three Saturdays in the run to Christmas [November 25], December 2 and December 9].

We raised €2,000 last year and to date over €25,000 has been raised for this very worthy cause and there is a donation box available at the Outlet Centre,” said Killarney Crafty Ladies founder Margaret McCarthy.
