MAKING CENTS: Plan to avoid the pressure on Communion day

The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) are so accustomed to hearing from families under financial pressure at this time that they have produced a leaflet for families on how to prepare for the big day — you can download it from mabs.ie.
It includes a budget sheet that lists all the possible different areas of expenditure for your child’s communion — from outfits to clothes to gifts for other children.
