Action Recruitment Annual Climb for Charity 2009

Action Recruitment Annual Climb


On Saturday 25th April 2009, Action Recruitment and friends climbed Diamond Mountain in the Connemara National Park in aid of The Catering Trust and The Ethiopian Centre for Independant Living. The weekend was a great success and we had excellent hospitality laid on by Ronnie Counihan and his staff at Renvyle House Hotel. In total €11,000 was raised for the two charities and we would like to express our thanks to all who supported us.
