Donegal’s latest Honorary Garda has been unveiled in Inishowen!
Garda Anne McGreal, from Buncrana Community Policing Unit, was delighted to present Honorary Garda Timothy Kelly from Carndonagh with his new uniform yesterday.
“We are looking forward to getting to know you,Timothy, and to working with you,” a garda spokesperson said.
The Honorary Garda recruitment is run by the Little Blue Heroes Foundation. Established in 2017, it is a not-for-profit registered charity voluntarily led by Garda members, retired Garda members and civic minded people from communities. The foundation is independent of An Garda Síochána, and is funded entirely by donations and fundraising.
Its vision is to support families of children with serious illnesses in Ireland while empowering the lives of children through positive community engagement.
“Our mission is to provide practical and financial support to families of children who have serious illnesses in Ireland while granting the wish of the children we support to become Honorary Gardaí to empower the child and foster positive engagement with An Garda Síochána,” spokesperson for the organisation said.
