Clarke's to host fundraising night for Better Together

Clarke’s Bar in Mullingar is set to host a table quiz, aiming to raise money for local Therapy Riding Centre, Better Together in Castletown Geoghegan.

​The quiz will take place on Thursday, November 20, and will commence at 8pm, with raffle prizes planned for the evening.

Better Together is fundraising to convert a track system into a sensory experience for both adults and children to join them for horse riding and lead ponies.

​Founder and owner of Better Together, Natalie Carey said: “We are trying to raise money for this new sensory experience, and we have it resurfaced and ready to go, so that's where our focus is at the moment, to raise funds for that.

​“Clarke’s did a fundraising event for us two years ago, and it means everything to us. Not only does it help generate some funds for us, but we also get more of the local community knowing that we are here.”

​Natalie went on to discuss what her hopes are for the future of Better Together: “We would love to expand, so that we can start doing events, opening up to the general public for Christmas or holiday experiences.

​"I really want to provide a space where people can come to a really safe, inclusive environment and have our ponies involved, and we can use our track to simulate those events.”

​It's all set to be a night of competitive fun in Clarke’s, while fundraising for a good cause and providing raffle prizes, making it an exciting Thursday night for all involved.
