Áine Duff the current Miss Meath and ambassador for the Meath Women’s refuge charity, has thrown her suport behind its annual Christmas fundraiser.
She said “I am delighted to highlight the life-changing work of Meath Women’s Refuge & Support Services and ask everyone to consider making a Christmas donation. Much of the incredible work the charity does to keep women and children safe is never seen. The Christmas Appeal gives us all a chance to make sure women and children who need help are not left behind.”
