The Dealer has been informed that six members of the part-time green cert class in Mellow Teagasc Campus Athenry, Co Galway, are running 5km wearing wellies and dressed up as Santa to raise money for Pieta House.

The idea came about as part of a teamwork module and the group decided that Pieta House would be a great charity to raise money for, as they felt it was a service which helped many people throughout the pandemic.
