Welcome to the The Irish Fostercare Association Mayo Branch

The Mayo Branch is one of the largest and most active branches within the IFCA with over sixty members. Meetings of the branch are held every six weeks and are well attended. These meetings are usually held in The Welcome Inn Hotel Castlebar. They offer support to members through the many very experienced Foster Parents and Social Workers in the branch who are willing to share their experiences.

The branch organise Talks and Workshops for the members. They also organise a Summer-Outing each year for all the members. A Christmas party is held every year – this is a huge success. At this party the children are entertained and Santa Claus brings a gift for every child..
