COMMUNITY AWARENESS.
With most sections of our community now housebound, please be on the lookout for all your neighbours both young and not so young, and check if there is anything any needs to help them through the very unusual times we live in at present.
COMMUNITY ALERT
Coolgreany Community Alert would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Redmond Brothers from the Ashdown Park and the Amber Springs Hotels for their excellent efforts in providing a number of dinners each day for members of our local communities around the district, and a special thanks to our local volunteers for delivering those meals each evening.
Please remain on the lookout for all our senior citizens and everyone who may be living alone, we have put together a small team of volunteers who are more than willing to help anyone who may need messages or prescriptions to be picked up and delivered to their homes, or in any other way that help is necessary. We are particularly willing to support our senior citizens or those who are living alone and cannot get out by organising the collection of a hot meal in the evening.
If anyone of our senior citizens need some small household items attended too, or help with other small chores please feel free to contact 087 4605166 where we can help with these chores, this support can be organised at your convenience.
SCHOOL ENROLMENT
Scoil Iosagain Coolgreany is now open for enrolments for the coming new school year starting in September. Due to the fact that the school is now closed, enrolment forms can now be made available by phoning 085 8570276 for help. Thank you.
