Leitrim County Council will host a community information event on Thursday, March 23, from 11am to 2pm at The Bee Park Resource Centre, Manorhamilton.
The event is part of their delivery of the Healthy Leitrim Programme in conjunction with An Garda Síochána Community Engagement & Crime Prevention Units working together with Leitrim PPN, Muintir na Tíre and Leitrim Development Company’s SICAP Programme.

The event will provide you with a chance to meet and talk to representatives from Leitrim County Council and An Garda Siochana, along with a vast selection of local health, educational, social and support organisations too.
Free blood pressure and blood glucose health screening will be available and live talks will be delivered by An Garda Síochána, Muintir Na Tíre, Animal Welfare and the HSE.
Light refreshments will be served, and everyone will receive a goodie bag worth over €30!

The overall aim of the event is to connect people to their community and to enable people to take the steps needed to live well, safely, and independently in their own homes.
The focus of this event is aimed at all members of the community over 55 years of age in particular, but everyone is welcome.
A similar event will be run in the South of the county later in the year.
In welcoming this event, Leitrim County Council Cathaoirleach Cllr. Ita Reynolds-Flynn said, “This is an excellent occasion for the people of North Leitrim to forge positive links with their community. It is a great example of the collaborative work and tangible efforts we are making to help people living in County Leitrim to age well with confidence”.
Don’t miss out on this community information day for invaluable information, networking, advice, and free health screening.
