Ballymacelligott Volunteer Group up and running again
The Ballymacelligott Volunteer Group made up of about 50 members is ready and willing to help elderly, those alone and the vulnerable in the weeks ahead. They will deliver foodstuffs, medicine, fuel etc to anyone in the area who needs the support and help. We work in conjunction with Ballymacelligott GAA, Ballymacelligott Community Alert, Local Link Kerry, Pat McCarthy and family at The Halfway Shop and many great people in our community.
All that need be done is to message or ring this number and The Volunteer Group will do the rest.
No one should feel alone or isolated or vulnerable in a great company like Ballymac. We stand tall and stand together over the coming weeks. We have overcome many trials in the past and will do so again.
Social Bubbles
If there is someone close to your house who lives alone you could consider the idea of forming a Social Bubble in which that person could keep contact with you and your family – a very worthwhile thing in the coming weeks, check out all the information in the link here:https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/3516d-support-bubbles/

One Good Coach Workshop.
Last Saturday, on World Mental Health Day, the GAA, in partnership with Jigsaw, launched a new online youth mental health promotion course called One Good Coach. The aim of this course is to increase the mental health literacy of coaches and club members so that they feel more confident to promote and support young people’s mental health within their coaching role.
