March April May June July 2012 Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle Campaign

‘Home from Home’ is an afterschool service that seeks to engage children with disabilities in meaningful and enjoyable activities, both on a one-to-one basis and in small groups. It helps to develop the children’s interests while being mindful of their unique needs. It furthers their social awareness through fun and games in a secure and caring environment. “St. Francis’ Special School” caters for the educational needs of pupils with a Moderate or Severe/Profound General Learning Disability as well as pupils on the Autistic Spectrum. Both services have raised money through fundraising, and acquire some monies through Government bodies. However, for both services to continue and hopefully expand, we need continued support so please register with us on your cycle as we need you because the children need us.

Contact Helena on 064-6671705 and Claire on 064-6624884.
