Their motto is: “We never judge, we serve.” Jean moved to Sherkin Island from Dublin after studying on the Visual Art Degree Course on Sherkin Island and has joined with many fellow graduates to use their art to fundraise during this Covid-19 pandemic. She said: “ I saw a program about Cork Penny Dinners on RTE on the At Your Service program some time ago and it has been on my mind as to how to help. As offshore islands are currently restricted under social distancing guidelines, it had to be something that I could manage remotely and on-line. “Sherkin Island has an amazingly creative community and it shows their generosity and desire to help in sharing their work for this fantastic charity. The cards can be posted to pretty much anywhere in the world so we hope that they will be sent far and wide to raise much-needed funds for Cork Penny Dinners. This way, one community can be of help to another. Cards have already gone all over Ireland and to France, UK and USA.” Jean works with Sherkin Island Development Society as Mental Health Worker and believes this is a great way to get the community involved in something positive.
