'Love of children' inspired Agnes' work for Barnardo's
TRIBUTES have been paid to a remarkable Glengormley woman who passed away last week, aged 100 years and six months.
Agnes Logan MBE was a founder member of the Barnardo’s Helpers Group in Glengormley and a much loved and respected member of the local community.
She remained active within the Barnardo’s Helpers Group in Glengormley for six decades, holding office locally and at Northern Ireland level.
Much of Agnes’ work over the past 60 years involved helping to raise funds for the children’s charity through organising and supporting a variety of activities such as concerts, bring and buy sales, collections, treasure hunts, competitions, coffee mornings, car boot sales and fireside quizzes.
Over that time the group’s goals were also greatly assisted by the efforts of its dedicated committee members, and by others such as Newtownabbey Borough Council, Dove Drama Group and Ballyclare Male Choir - not to mention the wonderful generosity extended to it by members of the public.
