The London Rose of Tralee Hayley Reynolds took another important step on her journey to Tralee with a fundraising quiz at the Claddagh Ring on Friday 15 July.

The event raised a total of £1,400 on the night.

Proceeds from the fundraiser go towards helping cover the costs of Hayley’s journey to Tralee this coming August for the festival.

Hayley selected the youth mental health charity, the Mix, as her partner charity for the fundraiser with 50% of the proceeds going to help them support their young service users.

The Irish World was there on the night and told us about being selected as the London Rose and what she is looking forward to about Tralee when she goes on to represent London at the Rose of Tralee festival in August.

The Rose of Tralee International Festival takes place 19-23 August.
