I’d like to welcome the news that the sum of €5,000 has been allocated to parent and toddler groups in the midlands region under the National Parent and Toddler Group Initiative Grant 2018. Amongst those set to benefit are:- Athleague Community Centre, Brightsparks Lisacul, Boyle Family Resource Centre, Castlerea Mother and Toddler RWN, Croghan in the Old Creaery Frenchpark, Steppings Stones in Ballaghaderreen, Sunflowers in Kilmore and St. Fildelmas Baby and Toddler Group in Tulsk.
