Martha and John Steele of Gulladuff, Moville are hoping to put people in the Christmas spirit again this year when they light up their home and garden in Moville with thousands of Christmas lights for children and adults alike to come and donate to charity. The charity selected this year is Inishowen Special Needs.
At present the committee is raising funds for a very worthwhile project in Moville. It is planned to open a house known as Prospect Villa to provide sheltered accommodation for 21 people and a Resource Centre. This new project will be a great boost to the town and Inishowen in general and it is hoped that many people will come and view the Christmas lights and help to provide vital funding for the Special Needs committee. If groups or organisations would like to visit the lights and have a cup of tea in the Log Cabin all in the name of charity they can contact the Steeles in good time and it can be arranged.
