WELCOME TO OUR SITE
This site was created so we could provide people with information to help support the families and friends of people with serious illnesses.
About Us
'Lean on Me' is the Young Social Innovators (YSI) hosted by the Transition Year students in Our Lady Of Lourdes Secondary School, Rosbercon, New Ross, Co.Wexford.
We felt that young people in Ireland, who have a family member or friend suffering from a serious illness, including cancer, have no support or guidance on how to deal with these circumstances. Our aim for this project is to raise awareness about the lack of support for these young people.
