As National Volunteering Week drew to a close on Friday, it made me realise how lucky we have been. I wanted to thank all those who have volunteered with SFP in Galway over the past 18 months. Without your involvement the programme would not be able to be as successful as it is.

A key component of SFP is Our Time...nice to see recent Canadian research backs up the concept...http://www.independent.ie/life/family/top-tips-to-tame-your-teen-31105776.html
