Funds drive for Down Syndrome therapists

THE Cork branch of Down Syndrome Ireland is planning a series of fund-raisers to help defray the cost of employing two full-time speech and language therapists.

Details of the fund-raisers were announced at a special function at the Silver Springs Moran Hotel at the weekend which was attended by celebrity chef Rachel Allen.

The same hotel will be the venue for the charity’s inaugural gala ball which will take place on Saturday, October 30.
