🌿🍂 YMCA Ireland's Year of Wellbeing continues with 'Optimistic October' this month, and to keep us all upbeat we've planted a Positivi-tree in reception! 🌳 Throughout the month we are asking our staff, volunteers, visitors and users to stop for a moment and add a leaf of optimism to the tree - a thought for the day, a moment of gratitude, a special mention or a hope for the future 🍂🌿

By the end of the month when all the spectacular oaks and ash trees around us have lost their leaves, our Positivi-tree will be full of optimism 💫

Thanks to our Wellbeing Champion Matthew for another amazing initiative this month, and to Marit for her artwork in creating the tree! 🪾✨

🪨The adventuring is continuing for our team of international volunteers! Alongside learning key delivery skills including water safety, first aid, youth leadership and team games, we found time to explore the local area with some river bouldering!

🇫🇮 YMCA Tampere, Finland's second largest YMCA, visited Greenhill today as part of their shared learning trip to Ireland. We had a great day sharing camp practices, exploring our range of outdoor education activities, visiting our colleagues in Newcastle YMCA and stopping for a few coffee breaks along the way! ☕

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Timo and the team, we look forward to working together in future 🤝 🇫🇮 ♥️

Making connections across continents 🌍 Over the past 24 hours we have been enjoying spending some time with our colleagues from YMCA India.

John Beera, Regional Secretary of Central India Region of YMCAs, and Anto Joseph, General Secretary of YMCA Ernakulam, joined us at Greenhill on their learning trip across YMCAs across the UK and Ireland.

It was a pleasure to spend time discussing the similarities and differences in the work of the YMCA globally, and to get a better picture of how YMCA India diversifies itself across such a vast country.

Thanks for your time and safe onward travels!
