The energetic pupils of Little Angels NS in Letterkenny are helping Donegal families get into the spirit of Parent Hub Donegal’s new ‘Make One Change 2019’ campaign.
The innovative project invites families to make some small change to their routine which could make a big difference to their life as a family.
This year’s campaign was recently launched in Little Angels with local singer Sinéad Black, who had everyone up dancing as an example of how to introduce a little exercise and fun into the daily routine – the perfect way to Make One Change.

What could you and your family do to Make One Change this year?
A Parent Hub spokesperson suggested: For some families it is a choice to make more time for family meals, sitting together around the table. That can make a big difference to family life, taking time to catch up with each other, hearing what is going on, noticing how people are feeling. We also notice our food more when we sit down to eat rather than grabbing food on the run or eating in front of the TV. That means we may eat more healthily and be less likely to overeat—all good reasons to sit down together!
