Who can I bring into the event?

Please bring your child (or yourself if you are grown up), brothers and sisters also. If your child would prefer to bring a best friend instead, that is okay too. We love to see Grandparents. If you are an adult and want to bring some friends, or indeed your own children please do. The Family Activity Day has something for everybody.

How much does the event cost ? – 20 contribution per family non -refundable

The Family Day is an important part of the work of the Cleft Lip and Palate Association. The event is subsidised by donations and fundraising from families. We are suggesting a €20 per family contribution towards the costs but if the contribution is putting ‘petrol in the tank’ in order to get here that is fine too. clapai must pay in advance

We run a raffle also which is always fun. Bring some cash for the tickets. As contactless payments have become a thing, we have a ‘Sum Up’ as a backup. If you can help out with prizes please let us know info@cleft.ie or bring along on the day
