A huge thank you to Specsavers Navan for raising €150.00 for our branch, Down Syndrome Ireland Louth Meath 💙💛
Michelle Whelehan has been successfully working in Specsavers Navan for the past 3 years and is such a valued member of the Specsavers team. Michelle was also one of the very first recruits under the Employment Support Programme, and we are so proud of all she has achieved.
