**SEEKING VOLUNTEERS** NEW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT ARE URGENTLY REQUIRED This is a hugely important role within Tots to Teens - without the Board of Management the service simply cannot operate. As a community facility we welcome the participation of parents and the community in general so that we can be a true cornerstone of the Tullow community. Do you have experience in finance, HR or PR which could complement the expertise of our wonderful staff? Do you have other skills you could share? Or, would you simply like to have more involvement in your child’s day-to-day care at Tots to Teens? The Board of Management meet approximately once a month. If you don’t feel you can contribute on an ongoing basis, we also welcome volunteers who could give some time to the facility or share their expertise in other ways - whether it be running classes, helping the children with our new garden planting and vegetable growing project or something else. Please contact info@totstoteenstullow.ie or message us here to express your interest. * All positions subject to confidentiality agreement and Garda vetting.

During the week they explored the different Nationalities within the room Irish, Polish, Latvian and Eygptian. Each day they also took part in a group activity of "International Tea Tasting" we're they experienced different food from each country.
