Lifetime Lab help raise €4000 for local schools

Lifetime Lab and Bishopstown and District Lions Club recently teamed up to raise much needed funds for local primary schools in the Bishopstown area. After the bookwork was finalised a total of almost €4000 was raised from the event and all proceeds were  handed over to participating primary schools in the Bishopstown area.

 An Easter Egg treasure hunt along with falconry, Easter card making and astronomy were some of the activities available on the day. Mervyn Horgan manager of Lifetime Lab stated “We are delighted to be able to give back to the local area which has shown great support to Lifetime Lab since we opened in 2006, we had a lot of activities arranged, with local volunteers giving up free time to help out, the sun was even shining, my thanks to the local schools who put in a tremendous effort in publicising the event and turning out in such numbers on the day"
