Our Lar Foley service recently received a very generous donation for a new sensory garden from Barbara Foley, as well as a sensory room from Gerry and Margaret Gannon of Gannon Homes. The Gannon Family initially donated Lar Foley House itself to St Michael's House in 2004, and it was named after Barbara's late father Lar Foley. Lar Foley House is home to three children and three young adults.
An official Opening Party for the sensory garden and sensory room was held on the 4 May, and turned out to be a fabulous day for all in attendance. We are extremely thankful to our donors for being so kind and generous. The garden and sensory room will make very positive impact on our service users for years to come, providing huge therapeutic benefits, and fun.
