Well done Newtown Juniors FC !!!! Another successful spin-A-thon!!

Newtown Juniors FC held our annual SPIN-A-THON outside Dunnes Stores in aid of Newtown Sensory Stars. We would like to thank everyone that donated and more importantly our spinners, it wouldn’t have happened without you all. Also a big Shout-out to Anton from Myfitt Newtown for the use of the spin bikes!
We are delighted to say we raised a massive €1,360.00 for Newtown Sensory Stars.
As a club and I’m sure we can speak on behalf of everyone in the town we would like to say a huge thank you to Newtown Sensory Stars for making our town more inclusive.
Special thank you to Aoife Nolan who is the back bone of this group along with Ann-Marie Kelly and the rest of the Mams and Dads from Sensory Stars.
Newtown Sensory Stars provide support to local neurodiverse children and their parents in our town and surrounding areas. Be sure to have a look on their Facebook and Instagram pages for more info.
