Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Christmas tree. Every December Andy Kenny aims to make Willie Bermingham Place, the housing scheme for older people, a little bit brighter by bringing more than 20 Christmas trees direct to its residents. This year marks the 10th anniversary since Kenny’s first Christmas tree delivery to the housing development in Kilmainham but he is simply following in the famous footsteps of his uncle Willie Bermingham, who founded Alone in 1997. He has been dead over 30 years but people still ask me about him, and his legacy lives on.”The eponymous Willie Bermingham Place is just one example of that ongoing legacy. She hadn’t had a real tree since she was a child, and it just brought back all the memories for her.”Kenny and Theo joined forces to bring Christmas cheer in the form of beautiful fir trees to Willie Bermingham place.
