  Our Hearts are FULL 💖💖💖

  Today we had an unexpected visit from the boys and girls in St. Colmcille's Primary School, Downpatrick who are visiting local businesses, thanking them for supporting our community.

  This really is such a kind and thoughtful gesture by young people, especially to make the time to visit all the businesses in Downpatrick 🤩

  We definitely have the BEST community in our beautiful town, thank you to the kids for the beautiful poster which will be going in our window!
