The Centra Childline Big BBQ is back and Nicky Byrne of Westlife has joined Centra and Childline to encourage people living in Cavan to get out their BBQs out during June and July and raise money for a great cause.
The Childline Big BBQ raised €408,000 for Childline in 2008 and Centra are asking people all over Cavan to register for their BBQ pack and host their own fundraising barbecue at home, at work or even in their local sports club.
Last year’s success was also helped by the many Centra Stores throughout Cavan which hosted BBQ’s for their local communities. Childline is Ireland’s only multi-media listening service, providing support to children throughout the country 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Commenting at the launch, Nicky Byrne of Westlife said: “To raise over €400,000 last year was a great achievement, particularly given the weather we had, and I really encourage people to help us match that amount this year by hosting their own BBQs throughout June and July.”
Des O’Mahony, brand communications manager, Centra said: “We are delighted to be involved with the Childline Big BBQ once again. Following on from the massive success of last year’s event and the fantastic response from Centra customers, we are hoping that even more people will register to host BBQs throughout the summer. It is a great way to spend time with family and friends and all the monies raised goes to a very worthwhile cause. Our aim is to ensure that fewer calls to Childline go unanswered.”

Newly-wed Jodi's Twitter tribute to 'beautiful grandad'
Newly-wed popstar Jodi Albert has revealed her heartbreak over the death of her grandad.
The sultry singer got hitched to Westlife star Kian Egan in a romantic ceremony in Barbados last month, but she has spoken about her sadness over her late relative.
She sparked dozens of messages of support after posting a photo of her with her grandfather on her Twitter page.
The picture obviously holds huge sentimental value for Jodi, who has now made Ireland her adopted home since hooking up with Kian more than five years ago.
"Me and my beautiful grandad...i miss him already...RIP grandad i love you so much. xxx," she wrote.
The star, who's now fronting Louis Walsh's new girlband, revealed how she used to spend every weekend with him and her Limerick-born grandmother as her parents were working at the East End market in London.
More than 1,000 of Jodi's Twitter followers have now viewed the photo of her with her sailor grandad, which has prompted a string of tributes from fans, who have passed on their condolences to the former Hollyoaks actress.
And the wealth of support she got didn't go un-noticed judging by the response from Jodi, who declined to say when her grandfather died.
"Hey guys you are the best! Thank you all for the beautiful things you had said in your msg..obviously i can't reply to all..but will try," she wrote.
The former TV beauty is now busy enjoying life as a married lady since getting hitched to the star in a dream wedding in Barbados, surrounded by all their closest friends and family.
And the couple have prompted speculation that they could already be intending to start a family after getting the green light to expand their four-bedroomed home in Strandhill, Co Sligo.
Creative
Gorgeous Jodi revealed how she "can't wait to start decorating" and said it was "time to get creative" when it came to her seaside home in the beauty spot. The master bedroom will include two walk-in wardrobes, while a nearby room has been described on the plans as a 'baby room'.
The couple, who dated for seven years, will be doubling the bungalow's original size to a roomy 5,231sq ft and plan to divide their time between their Irish and British homes.
Kian splashed out a modest €340,000 in 2004 to purchase the private estate house, which is just a few hundred yards from the plush house which he bought for his parents. The couple also have an apartment in London.
"Kian and I are really excited about our lives together," Jodi said. "And when I do have a baby I want to spend all my time with it, I want to be the one who brings it up. To do that I would have to be grown up myself. We talk about them all the time, but I'm 25, and I really want to give my career a go."
Her comments have been echoed by her smitten hubby Kian, who also manages her new girlband.
"For a lot of people babies come quite quickly, after you get married, but given our lifestyle and jobs it's just not practical."

This week's topic is: if you could recommend one of your favourite artists or bands for a member of Westlife to listen to, who would it be and why? Have your say in the forum now.
Last week we asked you to tell us which your favourite Westlife album cover is http://forum.westlife.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5885835&page=0&fpart=1&.
Here's one of our favourite posts, from nzwestlifelove. 'This is really tough because quite frankly I love them all but I would have to say "Back Home" because it shows the lads at the present time. They're dressed casually but not too casually which I love. It really shows them in their current style and they all look so great.'

Newlyweds Kian and Jodi add baby room to new house plans
Newlyweds Kian Egan and Jodi Albert are already planning a family and have included a 'baby room' in an extension to their house.
The loved-up duo have received planning permission for a development at the house at Strandhill, Co Sligo, which includes four bedrooms, a kitchen and living area, a music and entertainment room.
The en-suite master bedroom will include two separate walk-in wardrobes, while a nearby room has been described on the plans as a 'baby room'.
Former Hollyoaks star Jodi (26) and boyband singer Kian, who recently married in Barbados, were granted planning permission from Sligo County Council to extend their home near the sea at Carrowdough, where they also own a bar.
The pair also own a stunning five-bedroom barn conversion close to Jodi's parents in Essex and an apartment in London.
Kian (29) stays in the house in Sligo when he visits his mum and dad at the large house he bought them in the town.
And the couple have been modest in their plans to build their dream home to raise children in.
"Jodi and I practically do live together," Kian said before they were married. "We have our little small house up there in Sligo -- it's by the seaside," he said. "There's nothing big or special about it, it's only a four-bedroom little bungalow. It's all we need."
Gorgeous
The couple, who dated for seven years, will be doubling the bungalow's original size to a roomy 5,231sq ft.
They plan to divide their time between their three homes, but it looks as if Jodi and Kian are planning on settling down in Sligo if they have children.
"Kian and I are really excited about our lives together," Jodi said. "And when I do have a baby I want to spend all my time with it, I want to be the one who brings it up. To do that I would have to be grown up myself.
"Kian's house in Sligo is gorgeous, right on the beach," she added.

The Craic Is Back At Sandown Park
Celebrate everything the Emerald Isle has to offer as the popular Irish Day at Sandown Park returns on Saturday.
Racegoers can enjoy a pint of the black stuff while watching all the exciting action on and off the track, with horses not the only attraction.
Dancing, food, music and entertainment will light up what is undoubtedly a craic’ing day out for all.
Present on the day will Shane Filan from Westlife, a local resident to the Esher venue.
U2 tribute act, U2UK will be playing live after the racing has concluded.
Racegoers may also be tempted to perform a jig or two after watching ‘Ceolsha Dance’ perform throughout the day.
The dancers’ careers have included performances in some of the most successful stage shows that we have seen in the last 20 years, namely Riverdance and Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance.
Bentleys Restaurant is London’s most famous Oyster Bar and traditional Irish grown oysters will be on sale in the Grandstand throughout the day.
Richard Corrigan, the head chef at Bentleys, recently launched his newest restaurant, Corrigan’s Mayfair to great acclaim and is also involved in Lindsay House Restaurant in Soho, London.
A regular on TV programs such as Saturday Kitchen and BBC2’s Full of Food, Richard uses his Irish roots in all of his cooking and will present on the day.
Tickets start at just £18 for Grandstand Enclosure and £26 for Premier Enclosure when booked in advance.
Turn up in emerald green clothing (which must be half the visible outfit eg shirt or trousers) and £5 will be taken off your entry ticket to the Grandstand enclosure.
Racing is a really social occasion and all group bookings of 12 or more receive a 20% discount, booked in advance. As always, children aged 16 or under go free.
For further information visit www.sandown.co.uk or call 01372 470047.
