WANT to buy local and help
the environment this Christmas?
Then check out some of the sustainable seasonal gifts,
clothing and accessories at Síoraí, a newly launched
store on Bridge Street in Carndonagh. Síoraí is part of
the Spraoi agus Spórt social enterprise. It seeks to
integrate the circular economy into the local community
by encouraging people to shop more sustainably.
Helen Nolan, chief executive of Spraoi said: “Christmas
can be costly for those on low incomes, and also can
create a lot of unnecessary waste. Shopping in a
sustainable store is more affordable and helps recycle
quality goods and reduce levels of waste." |

Síoraí teacup candles are
created from salvaged china and soy wax. |
Helen added: "Our candles
are scented with pure essential oils as opposed to
chemically manufactured fragrances. Each Síoraí candle
is created with the utmost care, using high quality
ingredients and hand poured into an exquisite piece of
china chosen by a member of the Síoraí family.”
This Christmas, Síoraí seeks to integrate the circular
economy into the local community by also encouraging
people to also shop for fashionable clothing more
sustainably.
Lorraine Carey, Circular Economy Hub Lead at Spraoi agus
Spórt, said: “We want to make Síoraí a destination every
time you are looking for a new outfit or piece of
clothing. We encourage people of all ages to shop
locally and sustainably with us as we stock men's,
women’s, and children's clothes.”
As well as helping the environment, sales from Síoraí
also support the work of Spraoi agus Spórt in the area.
Helen says: “All funds from sales are used to provide
activities and services that help children and young
people in the community reach their full potential. In
particular, they fund special needs assistance to enable
children of all abilities to take part in our programmes
and activities. And that’s something to celebrate this
Christmas!”
Spraoi agus Spórt also offer festive items for sale on
their web shop including personalised handmade wooden
gifts, ornaments and decorations at
