AUGUST

Dublin Simon Community is calling on all households to join the Dublin Simon Staycation and camp out for the last weekend in August!

 

We are inviting you to camp out in the garden, the balcony or even the living room this August 28th & 29th and harness those holiday vibes.

 

Treat the kids to one last hurrah by having a water fight, building a fort, going for a picnic or grilling a BBQ.

 

 End your fun-filled day by sleeping under the stars and help teach your kids about those less fortunate than themselves while raising much-needed funds for Dublin Simon Community’s vital life-saving services.

A network of cycling and walking groups have launched ‘Get To School On Your Own Fuel’ campaign.

All through summer 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, children have been out cycling in their local neighbourhoods, going to parks, meeting friends, and enjoying the freedom and fresh air.

With the return to classrooms in September, cycling and walking groups around the country are highlighting the opportunities for more children and students to cycle, walk, scoot or skate safely to school.

Promotions will also take place in many locations, with opportunities to get bicycles checked by qualified mechanics, as well as taking part in a national scavenger hunt competition.

The Monumental Music Tour

It’s called the Monumental Music Tour because each stop is an important monument and the story is accompanied by a song about it.

Perfect for anyone interested in Irish music and history, the guides will perform folk songs relating to the iconic Dublin landmarks like the G.P.O. Daniel O’Connell, Molly Malone and many more.

The tour begins at the famous Molly Malone statue, it’s a lively 90 minutes full of songs and stories.

It’s only about 1 km walking distance around Dublin city centre so it’s suitable for all ages and a great family activity.
