“Reaching out to our relatives, friends and neighbours” – important proposal from Leitrim GAA Health and Wellbeing/Healthy Clubs

Leitrim GAA Health and Wellbeing/Healthy Clubs

“ Reaching out to our relatives, friends and neighbours”

Right now in the aftermath of such a destructive storm is a good time for us to support those who normally support us.

Proposal to our players.

1.  Would each of us or any of us be willing to volunteer to help out and look out for someone they already know ?

2.  Someone we already know – could be a relative/neighbour
or a friend who is finding these times challenging.

3.  This would involve making contact by phone or text or just dropping in to say hello especially after dark and maybe phoning ahead if that’s possible.

Benefits :

1.  Would ensure safety and sociability for many.

2.  A vital outlet for each to talk and feel valued. This could be a good time to chat about “The New Rules”!!!

3.  Helps alleviate loneliness for the housebound and ensure they are warm and have vital supplies.

Our community loves to share with our younger people. Under normal circumstances these people are our best supporters and this is a good time for us in the GAA to pay them back by Playing our part.

We have no doubt that people, especially our older generation would value interaction and contact with yourselves.

Thank you for considering this message.

Take care.
Bernie Mulligan Dolan
Chairperson.
