Almost 2,000 Students will take part at some stage in this year’s S.H.A.R.E. collection in aid of older people. The collection continues throughout the streets of the city until Christmas Eve, with many of the 5th year students fasting during that time also.

S.HA.R.E. stands for Students Harness Aid for the Relief of the Elderly, and it has 140 housing units for older people throughout Cork City and also a wide range of support services for older people.
