On Saturday, 4th May, our On With Life Programme For Parents and Carers of Children U18 hosted Family Fun Day at Barretstown and it was an eventful day, full of a variety of activities. The day was held to give families of children living with an acquired brain injury a break and chance to bond with their family members.
