Community: Inishowen's Parent Information Network is offering a meeting marquee for parents and a choice of activities for children.

The Health and Healing section will include massage, family first aid, reflexology, yoga, meditation and tai chi.

Lots of children's activities including crafts with clay and wood, music, nature walks, beach games & puppet shows, the WoW Wall of Wishes and handmade flags.
