Sunshine House volunteers search

Judging crab-hunting competitions is just one of the fun challenges awaiting this year's volunteers at Sunshine House in Balbriggan. Each year, the Sunshine Fund takes children from disadvantaged areas on a week's summer holidays. For some of these children, it'll be the only holiday they have all year.

We need volunteers to help bring a bit of happiness into their lives – whether you're building sandcastles, pushing swings, telling stories or refereeing football. For each volunteer that signs up, eight more children will get to go on holiday.

So if you're over-18 and up for the challenge, visit www.sunshinefund.ie or call 01 819 8431
