This is a mixed cross community group of protestant and catholic children and parents and we very much welcome Nuala’s support. The trip will provide a platform on which to establish a more extensive cross community program”
Chris Davis, the organiser from Springfarm & District Community Association, extended her thanks to Translink , “The Springfarm & District Community Association are very grateful to Translink for providing transport and giving the children the opportunity to visit Santa’s Lapland. The trip would not have been possible without their generosity and the community association, parents and children involved would like to say a big thank you.”
