Description

Down Syndrome Limerick is looking for volunteers to help out at a Cars and Coffee event in Ballina on June 20th. This will be held in McKeogh's Yard, Ballina, Co. Tipperary. Students will need their own transport to get to and from the event.

This fun community event will bring together car enthusiasts and families for a morning of great cars, coffee, and conversation while raising awareness and support for people with Down syndrome in Limerick.
