where your money goes
Meath Springboard face two key challenges during the coming year,
1) Provide counselling to children in a timely fashion and do so within a restrictive budget. (ie demand is greater than the budget).
2) We have succeeded in developing and opening a new purpose built premises, additional funding is required to fit out the building and grounds in a child centered and fun manner.
All money raised via IDonate will be used to provide child counselling and or improve quality of Mangan House for the children using our premises.

In the intervening years the service has grown in both experience and service provision. The service works alone side the parent and child to address the issues given rise to concern.
