End of the Summer

The JRS Ireland Summer Programme came to a close on Thursday 20th August with a trip to Newgrange Farm. 

The programme, which ran for eight weeks over July and August was a great success this year.  110 children and adults from Clondalkin Towers and Hatch Hall and 20 volunteers participated in the swimming, arts and crafts, family fun day, bowling, cinema, kayaking and trips to Balbriggan Beach and Newgrange Farm.  JRS Ireland would like to extend its thanks to the many volunteers, without whose help and dedication the programme would not have been possible.  We would also like to thank Dublin City Council, CYC, CDYSB, Impact, Fingal County Council and the Katherine Howard Foundation for their support.  We look forward to an even bigger and more eventful programme next summer.
