Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a time to educate yourself and others about elder abuse, challenge ageist norms and behaviours and stand in solidarity with older people.

Abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual or financial. It can be neglect, exploitation or coercion.

Stand for dignity, safety and respect. Stand against elder abuse.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is out there. Visit Safeguarding Ireland for information on how to respond and report it https://safeguardingireland.org/report/

As part of celebrations of Bealtaine we had a wonderful afternoon yesterday.
Tea and coffee with some lovely home baked goodies were available for everyone to enjoy.
Sean Corcoran joined us for an afternoon of music and relaxation.
There is something special about a bit of live music and Sean got the whole room joining him with some great memories in song and story.
There was no rush home and everyone was uplifted and feeling the vibe.
The sun was shining of course and that made all the difference as well
Thanks Sean
We will definitely have to do it again.

Can we say a huge Thank You to Mallow Credit Union for their support to our Alzheimer's Coffee morning on May 7th. Some time ago we met with the lovely Gary McGuiness when the Post office closed in Doneraile. We discussed the difficulties faced by our members and the wider community. It was a very fruitful meeting and we were able to showcase our talents and our contributions to deserving causes.
Gary advised that if we asked for support towards one of our future planned events he would look into it. True to his word his positive response to our appeal we were able to purchase the necessities for our Coffee Morning.
We are so delighted to work together for a common cause.
We raised 655 Euros on the morning and this has been forwarded to the Alzheimer's Association.
