Ballyphehane GAA have extended their thanks to all who supported their SVP Christmas Appeal this year.
A spokesperson for the team said: "A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone in our amazing community who donated to this year’s SVP Children’s Appeal organised by Ballyphehane GAA. From toys and clothes to vouchers and monetary donations, the generosity shown was truly incredible."
"Every single contribution helped us give something back to children at this special time of year, and the impact will be felt far beyond the appeal itself. A very special mention goes to our little helpers, who did a fantastic job collecting, sorting, and organising the gifts."
"Once again, thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful cause. It really shows what can be achieved when a community comes together to make a difference."

Turner's Cross Councillor Dan Boyle reflected on his time as Lord Mayor in 2025 before passing the torch to Togher man Councillor Fergal Dennehy.
Cllr Boyle said: "My 2025 was dominated by the final six months of my term as Ard Mhéara Chorcaí, the biggest honour of my public life. To the best of my ability, I sought to represent the city. Meeting mayors, ambassadors, and important visitors to the city, I got to celebrate our special culture in sport, in music and through our festivals. "
"Marking Rory Gallagher's anniversary was especially important to me. The biggest honour was being able to acknowledge the contribution of so many people who help to make Cork City the great city it is. We need to celebrate that more."
