Christmas fundraiser Be The Light is launched at Nano Nagle Place

Nano Nagle Place has launched its Christmas fund-raising campaign and aimed a shining light into the lives of those supported by its community-focused initiatives.

The Be The Light campaign was announced as Lord Mayor Damian Boylan switched on the venue’s Christmas lights and unveiled a new public mural inspired by Nano Nagle’s legacy as the ‘lady of the lantern’.

Through the campaign, businesses are invited to sponsor a lantern, with individuals and families invited to sponsor a light.

Every light and lantern sponsored will shine in a unique light installation at Nano Nagle Place on December 17, with all funds raised supporting the work undertaken at Nano Nagle Place to tackle loneliness, build community connection, and champion inclusion.

Mr Boylan said that Christmas is “a special time in our city”.

“It is a time to remember those who may be facing challenges and to reach out, like Nano did, with kindness and support,” he said.
