Programme hosted by Connie O&#8217;Reilly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: x-small\"><strong>Blossom Ireland<\/strong> is a northside charity set-up by two hardworking mums to provide respite to children with intellectual disabilities and their families. Their first project was to run therapy-led camps for these children. The aim was to give children aged between 8 and 12years with intellectual disabilities a chance to have some fun during the summer while their parents got a well earned break. Blossom Ireland heavily subsidised the camps to ensure that parents did not have to pay a premium which is so often the case when dealing with services for children with intellectual disabilities. The inaugural camps are just over and were a great success. It is the charities intention to run more camps in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_4182\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/nearpodcast.org\/upload\/BlossomIreland.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('4182','http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/nearpodcast.org\/upload\/BlossomIreland.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/playbutton-443.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/nearpodcast.org\/upload\/BlossomIreland.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?powerpress_pinw=2086-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/nearpodcast.org\/upload\/BlossomIreland.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"BlossomIreland.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 18:13 &#8212; 16.7MB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blossom Ireland launches it\u2019s inaugural occupational therapy led summer camps for children with intellectual disabilities.
