Come down & do a stint on the stationary bike to show our community's zero tolerance towards Domestic Violence & Abuse. Our aim is to collectively cycle over 150kms, the equivalent of cycling the circumference of the county 💜

If you can't make it on Friday, please wear or bake purple, share on socials & make a donation to Amber or your local Domestic Abuse service 🙏💜
A Garda-led initiative, Go Purple Day is the national day to raise awareness & funds for local Domestic Abuse services.
