Fermoy festival focus on friendship

The power of kindness will preside in North Cork next week when Fermoy undertakes its third annual Friendship Week.

All sectors of the community will espouse positivity “to promote all things that encourage friendship”, says Fermoy community health worker and project co-ordinator Jacinta McCormack.

It runs from April 11 to 15. The week derived from a 2013 anti-bullying campaign when the Fermoy Community Network opted to highlight the positive aspects of the area.
