Cystic Fibrosis Ireland - Fund Raising
Fiona Masterson a teacher here in Whitechurch National School and one of our Youth Club Leaders, along with another teacher designed and released a free printable activity book called "The Great Isolation Activity Book". This is for children to do at home during lockdown. Due to its success, they then went on to create a version for teens and adults and asked that people consider kindly making a donation to Cystic Fibrosis Ireland for downloading it. give.everydayhero.com/ie/the-great-isolation-activity-book-for-aults
This has proved so successful that they have now raised over €5,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, well done Fiona and Lucy, an amazing effort on your behalf.
