By choosing The Grand Book of Galway, you’ll delight a young reader while also helping to support the vital work of Galway Simon Community, especially at a time of year when many people are facing hardship and uncertainty.
The Grand Book of Galway is the perfect Christmas present for children aged 7–12. It’s packed with local facts, creative activities, puzzles, art, history and sport — a great stocking filler that will keep curious minds entertained throughout the long winter evenings.
Written by Dr Kieran Coleman, the book directly supports the Galway Simon Community Mobile Health Unit, which provides essential medical care to people who are homeless or rough sleeping. This service delivers weekly nursing and GP clinics offering access to the full range of supports available in any medical practice, brought directly to those who need it most. It helps remove many existing barriers to accessing healthcare for the most isolated and vulnerable in our community. All profits from the sale of the book helps fund the mobile health unit.
The Grand Book of Galway is available from local bookshops including Kenny’s Bookshop, Charlie Byrne’s Bookshop, The Clifden Bookshop and other supporting shops and newsagents. It can also be purchased from the two Galway Simon Community charity shops. For online shoppers, it’s available at kennys.ie and charliebyrne.ie
