After hypnomagician Keith Barry was involved in a near fatal accident last year, he became an ambassador for the charity Headway. On 17th October RTEs Seoige programme broadcast a feature on Keith’s ambassadorial work with the charity. This involved a visit to Coláiste Íde to film a yoga class attended by students with acquired brain injury. Picture shows Louise and Niamh preparing for the RTE visit.For further information contact Headway National Telephone Helpline on 1890 200 278 visit www.headway.ie. - or contact www.colaisteide.ie
