Foróige is a national voluntary youth organisation which was founded in 1952 and was originally calles Macra na Tuathie. It caters for boys and girls between the ages of12 - 18.

The club in Banagher was founded in 1992 and last year had 48 members. The club meets every Thursday evening from 7 to 9pm in Quigleys hall.

Over the past year the club took part in many activities. The club went on a summer outing to Achill Island for 3 days in August and throughout the year they also attended inter-club discos. The club did bag packing in Tullamore during the year and raised £850 for the club and collected coins for the Foróige coin challenge. This was a national Foróige fundraising event for Alzheimer's Society, ISPC, the Marie Keating Foundation, and the Bubble Gum Club

Foróige collected more than a million coins and beat the world record and was entered into the Guinness Book Of Records. On December 5th, the international day of the volunteer, a mural was made with all the coins collected around the country and this was on display for two weeks in Collins Barracks, Dublin. The mural was then dismantled and the money was given to the charities. The members and leaders of Banahger Foróige Club would like to thank the people of Banagher for thier kindness and genorosity to the club throughout the year.

We would like to thank the 3 schools in the parish for helping us with our coin collection, especially St. Rynagh's National School who colloected over 11,000 coins for us. The total raised was £850.
