Christmas cards in aid of MS Ireland
Send love with an Irish charity card. After the year we’ve had, it’s never been more important to connect with loved ones over the festive season; and what better way to do so than by sending a traditional Christmas card? We love these cards by artist and MS & Me blogger Rosie Farrell in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland.

The Toughest Season
The Toughest Season celebrates all that is great about GAA and how it brings in people. This year, while the country was locked down, GAA club members worked to support their communities – this book is a celebration of that work.

All proceeds go to AIB’s charity partners AGE NI, Alone, FoodCloud, Pieta & Soar. Deliveries begin on 9 December.
