The Sex and the City fundraiser for the local charity organisation Meals on Wheels was a spectacular success. This unique event was hosted by local businesses.The proceeds from the night were presented to Tina Coleman representing the Meals on Wheels organisation.

The evening of style and glamour started with a champagne reception, cocktails and food while the movie Sex in the City was shown on the screens. This was followed by a fashion show with models from the Lockdown Agency including former Miss Cork Sarah O Connell and Jean Kenny the current Miss Cork and of course local models all showcasing the autumn and winter fashions from the four local boutiques. Our own local man Tommy Collins from local radio Community Radio Youghal was Master of Ceremonies on the night, and managed to keep everything running smoothly

There were fabulous prizes on the night for nearly everyone from categories such as best footwear to the most stylish dress. When the fashion show finished there was a dance lesson for the more adventurous and the dance and party atmosphere continued into the night.

Meals on Wheels the main beneficiary of this fun filled evening are a local organisation that provides a much-needed service to local people. They cook and deliver hot meals to the elderly and others who from time to time need some help in and around the kitchen. This is a vital service that Meals on Wheels provides and have done so for a number of years now, not only is it about the hot meals but it’s also about helping those who might not see anyone for days at a time.

Recent research commissioned by the National Council on Ageing and Older People revealed that currently, between 10,000 and 12,000 people use the meals on wheels service across Ireland.
