It has been brought to our attention that some residents may have received charity collection bags from associations that might not be legitimate. Many charities collecting used or unwanted goods will bear the logo of the Irish Charity Shops Association (for more information see here). Others will display an Irish Registered Charity number, and details can be found by consulting the public register. MGRA encourage all residents to remain vigilant to potential bogus charities, and advise that you gain more information via the telephone numbers they provide before donating. Queries or concerns can be addressed by contacting the Charities Regulator, or following this link.
