Speaking at the launch of their Christmas Card Selection today, Croí’s Event Co-ordinator Seona Joyce stated that “unfortunately more often than not, postal mail for some just means another bill, we are asking people to bring back the positive feeling of receiving post by sending your loved ones a Croí Christmas Card this year”.

Essential funds to support Croí’s vital work through prevention and lifestyle change programmes in the community, are funded from the sale of Croí Christmas Cards.
