A fantastic morning on Friday at our “Love Your Heritage – Stories of Then & Now” in Moville
The group enjoyed a lovely guided walk along the shore path before gathering in St. Eugene's Hall - for tea, scones and great conversation. It was wonderful to hear local memories and reflect on how our community has changed over time.

A big thank you to Patsy Toland from Change Makers Donegal for leading such an engaging and insightful discussion, and to everyone who joined us and shared their stories.
Events like this are a great reminder of the value of connecting with our heritage and each other 💚

What an incredible day yesterday at The Milk Bar for the Donegal IFA “Field of Her Own” event
The perfect backdrop, a fantastic atmosphere, and truly inspiring conversations made it a very special occasion. Every detail looked superb, and the speakers brought honesty, insight, and inspiration throughout the day.

We were delighted, as Inishowen Development Partnership, to support such a meaningful event. A huge thank you to Shannon and everyone at The Milk Bar, as well as all involved behind the scenes.
We’d also like to extend our thanks to the wonderful stall holders and supporters who played such an important role in making the day such a success.

Events like this highlight the strength, resilience, and innovation of women in agriculture. It was fantastic to see such strong support from across the community.

This was a wonderful collaborative outing delivered in partnership with Sláintecare Healthy Communities Social Prescribing and our new HARC Project, bringing people together to relax, connect, and enjoy new surroundings.
