Could you give an hour a week to help an asylum seeker improve their English? We need volunteers for our English Conversation Class.

Support and resources will be provided. For further information contact Mike Riordan, Drishane Castle (086) 4106364.

Would you give one hour a week to help an asylum seeker improve their English?
Many of the daily tasks that we take for granted such as shopping, visiting the doctor, helping children with homework, are extremely difficult when English is not your first language. If you are interested in helping asylum seekers improve their English, contact Mike Riordan, Drishane Castle (086) 4106364.

Congratulations to Mark Twomey who graduated in Computers at a ceremony in Oriel House recently. Mark attends COPE in Mallow. Also pictured below with Mark are his parents Matthew and Betty.
My name is Karen Dennehy and I am a final year medical student at University College Cork. As part of our degree we are encouraged to complete some research. I have decided to look at Parental Decision Making when Caring for an Ill Child.
My aim is improve healthcare provided for children as well as add to the research available with regards parental concerns.
I would be delighted if parents could take the time to complete an online questionnaire which should take no longer than 5 minutes.
The questionnaire is completely anonymous and your participation is greatly appreciated.
Thanking you! Karen
