Small things can make a big difference. 💛 What small things can you do this weekend to make a difference?

A smile. Taking the time to listen. Making sure everyone has a chance to be included.

Inclusion starts with everyday actions and we can all play a part. 🌍✨

🚶‍♀️🌿 National Walking Day at Dara! 🌿🚶‍♂️

To celebrate National Walking Day, people from all different areas of Dara came together for a lovely walk from the Dara Hub on the Main Street to Castletown House and back again.

Walking is a great way to improve fitness, stay active and support our mental health and wellbeing. Most importantly, it was a wonderful opportunity to get out, enjoy the fresh air and spend time together. 💚

We had a fantastic walk and thoroughly enjoyed the day! A big well done to everyone who took part. 👏😊
