Resources for Helping Rathkeale

Fundraisers

This page uses the convenient rathkeale.com/help URL to enable everyone to easily direct visitors to worthy fundraisers and requests for assistance. These requests often have additional URLs that are difficult to remember and prone to typos. Projects may be independent of the Rathkeale Community Council. Anyone can request a listing if the project makes Rathkeale a better place to be. By helping you are not just making a donation. You are making a difference.

There are no listings at this time.

Publicising an Event or Cause

Local media is relatively accommodating of news and events, especially if the notice includes who, what, where, when, why and how (including any charges.) Consider the submission deadline to be the prior Sunday or Monday of the publication week. Some good outlets include:

Limerick Leader newspaper: Email news to community@limerickleader.ie with a note stating it is for the Rathkeale column.

Weekly Observer newspaper: Email news to photos@weeklyobserver.ie with a note stating it is for the Rathkeale column.

102FM community radio: Email news to shirley102fm@gmail.com or record a voice message on WhatsApp and send it to (086) 158 6247.

Rathkeale Rising Facebook page: Email news, or the URL of a post you would like shared, to news@rathkeale.com.

Setting up a Club, Society or Other Non-profit

Sustainable Communities: A Governance Resource Book for Small Community and Voluntary Organisations by The Wheel. This resource book is for community organisations run by volunteers or with a very small staff. It is intended for the governing body of the organisation, such as the board, management committee, steering group, or council. These people are known as trustees and are responsible for the overall organisation.
