Midleton GAA Healthy Club Launch 8th of May 2016
As a Club we want to ensure that everyone who engages with our club benefits from the experience in a health-enhancing way – be they members, players, supporters or members of our community. The Health Club Project will help us to achieve this aim.
With your help we would like to identify priority health issues in the club and community that the club can support. If you have an interest in health and wellbeing and want to get involved in some other projects please contact Vincent Reddy Chairman 087-2521285 Health& Wellbeing Committee or Mairéad Beausang Health & Wellbeing Officer 087-2412010 or email midletongaahealthyclubproject@gmail.com
So far in 2016 we have completed the following:
• Stress Control Course in partnership with HSE
• Recipe for Success Home Economics Workshop for 16-18 year olds
• Saturday Coffee Morning now biscuit free serving fruit only
• Upgrade of Club Defibrillator
Going forward we are considering the following:
• Sun Awareness & Protection
• Critical Incident Response Plan as required by the GAA
• Healthy Mind Map
• Walking Club
• Smoke Free Campus
• Dementia / Alzheimer’s Awareness Seminar
It would be great to hear your views and if you feel you can help out in any way that would be appreciated. We intend to make the club a “healthier place for everyone to enjoy”. All our members and their families are invited to come along on Sunday May 8th to support and enjoy Lá na gClub from 5 to 8pm and to help us launch our Healthy Club Project Phase 2.
