CONGRATULATIONS:​ The Children’s Grief Centre in Limerick has won the National Lottery Good Cause of the Year award​ - they ​won €25,000 for the award, plus an additional €10,000 for its category win.. The charity, founded in 2009 by Sr Helen Culhane - which supports children who suffer loss from bereavement, divorce or separation ​​-​ won the overall award at an awards ceremony in Dublin. Sr Helen said, she was overjoyed to receive this reward. ​ She said, children often find it difficult to express their feelings through language so ​they are ​allow​ed to choose their own form of expression. The impact of this work with children is incredible. As a result of attending the Children's Grief Centre it has been shown that children are happier, more calm, and have less feelings of anger, guilt and sadness.​ ​Located on the South Circular Road, it is a free and voluntary organisation that supports children between the ages of four and ​eighteen.​ ​ Since it started it has provided a space and place for around 1,000 children​.​ You might remember, Sr Helen​ also​ won the 2017 Limerick Person of the Year award for her work with the charity.
