As part of Joseph and Uzair’s 2026 Personal Outcomes, Caro Day Services in Ballinasloe organised a cycling trip along the Great Western Greenway from Mulranny to Achill, Co. Mayo. They completed the scenic 13km route before stopping on the island for some refreshments and enjoyed a walk along Keel beach. They wrapped up a fantastic day with a lovely meal at the Mulranny Park Hotel. It was a highly successful outing and a wonderful way to mark Joseph and Uzair's 2026 milestone.

Corlann South East recently held a bake sale and walk in aid of Epilepsy Ireland. Agnieszka from Epilepsy Ireland led an informative session for the people we support and our staff and the fabulous Jade from Tory Services recited a poem about Epilepsy. We ended the morning with music from Mary Prendergast along with cakes and craic! Thanks to everyone who came along and helped raise a total of €600 for Epilepsy Ireland 😊

The People Supported and Staff in Teach an Lae Day Service in Boyle are very thoughtfully doing a combined 80k walk in the month of October to raise much needed funds for Autism Assistance Dogs - a fantastic cause. It takes €25,000 to train a dog so please help us to make a difference to someone's life. 🐶 Donations can be made at https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/breegedwyer
