Aims
"Through the cooperation of our wonderful supporters, donors, corporate partners and volunteers, we want to offer the extraordinary Garton Family the best quality of life possible including the experience of laughter, shared joy and treasured memories with important people in their lives."
Eamonn Geraghty, Project Leader


The Garton Family Project aims are to:
  1. Fulfill the heartfelt wishes of the Gartons to return to Ireland on holiday.
  2. Heighten public awareness of and to improve the quality of life of disadvantaged children and children with disabilities. Collectively, we strive to bring them hope and care.
  3. Link up with kindred Irish charities operating within the areas of Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida and Special Olympics Ireland and to contribute towards their 2005 fund raising projects.
Objectives
The Garton Family Project is a non profit venture and all work carried out is on a voluntary basis or where necessary, at a greatly subsidized cost.

Monies received from our fund raising activities and donations will be used to:

  • Provide the Garton Family with a holiday in Ireland

Audited accounts will be prepared and posted on this web site on completion of the project expected in September, 2005.
