Mother Ann McLoughlin has written a lovely book of poems for children as a thank you to Enable Ireland Meath for supporting her son, Matthew. Titled 'Santa Saves Easter & Other Poems', each book costs just €5 and because it was published for free, every penny goes towards Enable Ireland. Ann is hoping to raise €5,000 with your help!

Bring your little ones for a trim with Santa

From 5pm to 7pm, Yourells Hair Salon on Eyre Street will be filled with Christmas cheer as they host a children’s evening in aid of Enable Ireland where youngsters can get their hair trimmed for the festive season for free.

All children are welcome  to enjoy two hours of Christmas fun with face painters, games, treats with Santa there to hear all Christmas wishes whilst getting their hair cut, styled or blow-dried. As this event is in aid of Enable Ireland, Yourells are asking all little angels to bring any toys they no longer play with and donate them to children who need them most.

December is a time of giving and Yourells are asking parents to help their tots pick out their best toys to donate to the charity. Parents also get the luxury of Santa distracting the kids to avoid any tantrums from uneasy little clients!

Carol Joyce, co-owner of Yourells, tells “December is an exciting time for parents and kids alike. Parents can relax with the Yourells team making their little one’s tresses look great for Christmas photos and children get to see Santa and help other children in need. We at Yourells want to help out the wonderful charity, Enable Ireland, as they focus on kids and family, the heart of Christmas for all. We are hoping that customers donate as many toys as you can to help out those families relying on Enable Ireland’s services”.

If you would like to attend this event and get your child’s hair cut for free and visit Santa, RSVP to info@yourells.com and pop in on the night with some old toys. For more information about this event, contact Yourells on 091 563545, or log onto www.yourells.com. Check out Yourells Facebook page at www.facebook.com/yourells.
