All were able to make use of the Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and swimming pool at the hotel. On top of this each parent was entitled to a treatment at the spa. The most popular treatments were an aromatherapy back massage – popular with the dads - while most mums went for a body scrub treatment. According to those who attended, the body scrub treatment left people smelling of roses. The treatment's were such a success one of the parent's remarked that afterwards she had the best nights sleep in years.
All parents also attended a lunch with Gayle and Gillian, our Child and Family Support Coordinator in the area. We would like to thank those parents who came along, as it was such a successful day, and we have had some really positive feedback. One parent mentioned it was not only a relaxing day, but also a good chance to meet and talk to other parents.
During the lunch our staff received a special surprise as Joanne Regan presented them with a £1000 cheque. Joanne cycle from the most northerly point of Ireland to the most southerly point, Mizen Head, Cork. Congratulations and thank you to Joanne for her recent fundraising.
