Health and Wellbeing Initiatives

Place Standard took place in Old Bridge on the 2nd October 2024.
We used what is called the “PLACE STANDARD TOOL” which seeks to get Old Bridge community’s views and opinions on how good Old Bridge is as a place to live by completing a survey.

The results of the survey highlighted identity and belonging, influence & sense of control, housing & community, social interactions, natural spaces needing little room for improvement and Moving around, public transport, traffic & parking, play & recreation needing lots of improvement. The next steps are: Feedback report to the Old Bridge community and agencies. Roll out Place Standard with young people and older adults in the Old Bridge area.

The purpose of this conversation is to explore the experience of Substance Use in Clonmel and consider what impacts it has on the Community. Once we have captured this understanding and shared it, then the conversation can move on to consider what we can do individually, working together and working with service providers to help secure a healthy and safe community for everyone.

Safefood is a great resource for easy recipes. Their book 101 Square Meals is available to access online.

There should be something there to suit everyone.

The current situation is affecting each of us in different ways.

We need to let each other know that we're in this together.

Your body needs lots of different nutrients to stay healthy. That means eating a variety of foods from each of the main food groups.

The Food Pyramid is designed to make healthy eating easier. It shows the different food groups and how much of each we need to have a healthy diet. Eating the right amount from each food group is called eating a "balanced" diet.

Tipperary County Council supported by Healthy Ireland and POBAL through the #Keepwell campaign bring you a brief series of talks by Psychotherapist Stella O'Malley about Minding your mood.

The spread of Covid 19 in 2020 has been challenging for us all in different ways . Some people might find it more worrying than others.
