Laois people who need hospice care are set to benefit from a Halloween fundraising event that has raised more than €10,000 for Laois Hospice.
Members of Laois Vintage Limited, the Ballinakill Vintage Club, and Laois Hospice gathered in Portlaoise at the Laois Shopping Centre with its manager, Kevin Doyle, for the presentation of money raised at the 2025 edition of the indoor vintage car show held.
The funds were collected by Laois Hospice volunteers at the popular event in Portlaoise, which was hosted by the Ballinakill vintage vehicle enthusiasts. Money raised this year is up on 2024 when around €9,000 was raised. MORE BELOW PHOTO.
