ICA news: Ballyphehane guild’s devoted work within local community

Whether it’s raising funds for a nearby hospital or contributing to the education of six to eight-year-olds in the local school, Ballyphehane ICA Guild is all about giving back to the community.

The 70-strong guild runs three crochet classes on a voluntary basis — at Ballyphehane/Togher Resource Centre, at Ballyphehane Community Centre and in Tory Top Library.

“This is ICA craftswomen sharing their skills with people from the community,” says long-time member Nancy Falvey, who confirms that each class attracts about 20 local women.
